English borrowed the word from French,and aspilot it has moved from the water to the air, first being recorded in 1848 with reference to an airborne pilot—a balloonist.飞行员一脚踩地飞进天空这句话字面上虽讲不通,但在词源上却可以。如果为找到pilot 的根源而溯其词源, 我们会发现它源自印欧语系词根ped- 意为“脚”。 从加长的这个词根的后缀形式pedo- 我们得到希腊词语 pedon “桨叶”及复数形式,“舵”。 在中世纪的希腊,据称曾存在派生词pedotes “舵手”, 该词进了古意大利语并添了一些形式,包括pedota 和 pilota , 这些形式被法语借用过来,便成了pilot 。 英语又借自法语,随着pilot 从水上被移用到天上, 于1848年第一次用来指天上飞行员——热气球驾驶员〔prolix〕from Latin prōlixus [poured forth, extended] 源自 拉丁语 prōlixus [喷吐出来,加长] 〔calk〕A pointed extension on the toe or heels of a horseshoe, designed to prevent slipping.马蹄铁刺:马掌后跟或足尖上的尖形加长部分,用于防滑〔lounge〕from Old French alongier [to lengthen] 源自 古法语 alongier [加长] |
