salad的词源
英文词源
- salad
- salad: [15] Etymologically, a salad is a ‘salted’ dish. The word comes via Old French salade from Vulgar Latin *salāta, a noun use of the feminine past participle of Latin *salāre ‘put salt on to, treat with salt’. This is turn was a derivative of sāl ‘salt’, a relative of English salt. The Romans were fond of dishes of assorted raw vegetables with a dressing, and this often consisted of brine – hence the name, which is short for herba salāta ‘salted vegetables’.
=> salt - salad (n.)
- late 14c., from Old French salade (14c.), from Vulgar Latin *salata, literally "salted," short for herba salata "salted vegetables" (vegetables seasoned with brine, a popular Roman dish), from fem. past participle of *salare "to salt," from Latin sal (genitive salis) "salt" (see salt (n.)).
Dutch salade, German Salat, Swedish salat, Russian salat are from Romanic languages. Salad days "time of youthful inexperience" (perhaps on notion of "green") is first recorded 1606 in Shakespeare and probably owes its survival, if not its existence, to him. Salad bar first attested 1940, American English.

salad（色拉）：用盐水泡过的蔬菜
沙拉（salad)是西方人非常喜爱的菜肴之一，通常由蔬菜、水果再加上一些调味酱制成。在现代，制作沙拉时通常使用沙拉酱作为调味品，而在古代，制作沙拉的调味品通常就 是盐水。salad—词的来源就与“盐”有关。它来自拉丁语salata，字面意思就是salted (用 盐腌的、用盐泡过的）。不过和泡菜不同，沙拉通常是用新鲜蔬菜制成，在盐水中泡的时间很短，达到调味的效果即可。现在，随着各种沙拉酱的出现，很少有人还使用盐水来制作沙拉，但salad这个单词的拼写依然显示了它和盐之间的关系。
