The first of these is in therhu- part of the word, which can be traced back to the Greek wordrha, meaning "rhubarb.”According to the Late Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus,rhubarb was namedrha because it grew near the river namedRha, which we know as the Volga. The-barb part of rhubarb was actually added first to Late Latin rha, descended from Greek rha, in the form rhabarbarum, barbarum being the neuter form of barbarus, "foreign.” Another Greek word for rhubarb,rhēon, influenced the Late Latin word rhabarbarum, giving usreubarbarum, which yielded Old Frenchreubarbe. The Old French form gave us Middle Englishrubarbe, first recorded in a work written around 1390.In imitation of the way the Greek wordrha is spelled, anh was added, completing the long journey of this word into English from the banks of the Volga in classical times.单词rhubarb 可能包含两个关于其语源的隐藏的参考信息。 第一个是单词中的rhu- 部分, 它可追溯到希腊单词rha, 意为“大黄。”根据后期拉丁历史学家阿米亚诺斯·马塞勒斯的意见,大黄被命名为rha, 因为它生长在我们称之为伏尔加河的Rha 河附近。 Rhubarb 中的 -barb 实际上最初以 rhabarbarum 的形式加在由希腊语 rha 传下来的后期拉丁语 rha 上, barbarum作为 barbarus (“异族的”)的中性形式。 另一个表大黄的希腊单词rheon 影响了后期拉丁单词 rhabarbarum, 让我们得到单词reubarbarum, 并由此产生了古法语词reubarbe 。 该古法语形式产生了中世纪英语rubarbe, 首次记录在写于1390年左右的一本著作中。模仿希腊单词rha 拼写的方式, 再加上一个h, 从而完成了这个词从古代伏尔加河岸转变到英语的漫长历程〔rhubarb〕Latin barbarum [neuter of] barbarus [barbarian, foreign] * see barbarous 拉丁语 barbarum barbarus的中性 [野蛮的,异族的] * 参见 barbarous |
