tulip的词源
英文词源
- tulip
- tulip: [16] Tulip and turban [16] are ultimately the same word. Both come from Persian dulband, and the name was applied to the plant because of its flower’s supposed resemblance to a turban. Dulband was borrowed into Turkish as tuliband, and this made its way into English via early modern French tulipan and modern Latin tulipa, acquiring its botanical meaning along the way (relatives that preserve the link with turban slightly more closely include Swedish tulpan, Danish tulipan, Italian tulipano, and Russian tjul’pan). Meanwhile Turkish tuliband evolved to tülbend, and this passed into English via Italian turbante and French turbant as turban.
=> turban - tulip (n.)
- 1570s, via Dutch or German tulpe, French tulipe "a tulip" (16c.), all ultimately from Turkish tülbent "turban," also "gauze, muslin," from Persian dulband "turban;" so called from the fancied resemblance of the flower to a turban.
Introduced from Turkey to Europe, where the earliest known instance of a tulip flowering in cultivation is 1559 in the garden of Johann Heinrich Herwart in Augsburg; popularized in Holland after 1587 by Clusius. The tulip-mania raged in Holland in the 1630s. The full form of the Turkish word is represented in Italian tulipano, Spanish tulipan, but the -an tended to drop in Germanic languages, where it was mistaken for a suffix. Tulip tree (1705), a North American magnolia, so called from its tulip-shaped flowers.
中文词源
tulip（郁金香）：形如穆斯林头巾的花
一提起郁金香（tulip），人们往往最先想到的就是荷兰。没错，郁金香是荷兰种植最广泛的花卉，也是荷兰的国花。很少有人知道，其实郁金香的故乡在中亚，包括西域即现在的新疆，16世纪后才传入欧洲。中国唐朝大诗人李白留下的“兰陵美酒郁金香，玉碗盛来琥珀光”即为明证。由于郁金香花似穆斯林头巾，所以波斯语称之为dulband，土耳其语称为tulbend，意即“穆斯林头巾”。该词通过拉丁文和法语进入英文，演变成tulip这一形式。土耳其语tulbend一词通过另一渠道进入英文，拼写为turban，仍指“穆斯林头巾”。
