chives的词源

英文词源

chives: chives: [14] The Latin for ‘onion’ was cēpa. The only member of the onion family to carry a reminiscence of that name in English is chives (although it crops up too in chipolata [19], which comes from Italian cipollata ‘with onions’, a derivative of Italian cipolla ‘onion’, ultimately from Latin cēpa). The Latin word entered Old French as cive (the term civet ‘game stew’ derives from cive, such stews originally having been flavoured with green onions). It must, however, have been a northern dialect version of this, *chive, which English borrowed.
=> chipolata

来自拉丁词cepa, 洋葱，词源同chipolata.
