basin的词源
英文词源
- basin
- basin: [13] Basin comes via Old French bacin from medieval Latin *bacchinus, a derivative of Vulgar Latin *bacca ‘water vessel’, which may originally have been borrowed from Gaulish. The Old French diminutive bacinet produced English basinet ‘helmet’ [14] and, with a modification of the spelling, bassinette ‘cradle’ [19], which was originally applied in French to any vaguely basin-shaped object.
=> basinet, bassinette - basin (n.)
- "large shallow vessel or dish," c. 1200, from Old French bacin (11c., Modern French bassin), from Vulgar Latin *baccinum, from *bacca "water vessel," perhaps originally Gaulish. Meaning "large-scale artificial water-holding landscape feature" is from 1712. Geological sense of "tract of country drained by one river or draining into one sea" is from 1830.

basin：（脸）盆，汤盆，流域
中世纪时，法兰克国王查理曼( Charlemagne，742？—814)麾下骑士都戴一种锥形金属头盔，他们称之为bacin，实际上那是一种“戴在头上的碗”（a bowl for the head）。13世纪英语借用了该词后，它的形式演变为basin，用以指“（脸）盆”或“汤盆”。19世纪英语又从法语把bacin的指小形式bassinet(te)借了过来，表示“（一端有篷盖的）婴儿摇篮”。
来源于古法语bacin。
