veal的词源
英文词源
- veal
- veal: [14] The Latin word for ‘calf’ was vitulus (it appears originally to have denoted ‘yearling’, for it is probably related to Greek étos ‘year’). Its diminutive form vitellus passed into English via Anglo-Norman veel, in the sense ‘calf-meat’. Its Old French cousin, veel, formed the basis of a derivative velin ‘calfskin for writing on’, which English adopted and adapted into vellum [15].
=> vellum - veal (n.)
- late 14c., "calf meat as food," from Anglo-French vel, Old French veel "a calf" (12c., Modern French veau), earlier vedel, from Latin vitellus "a little calf," diminutive of vitulus "calf," perhaps originally "yearling," if related, as some think, to Sanskrit vatsah "calf," literally "yearling;" Gothic wiþrus, Old English weðer (see wether; also see veteran).
