释义 | 〔digitalis〕The name of the plant genusDigitalis, whose member the foxglove provides an important drug used to treat heart disease,is associated with another part of the body, the finger.InDigitalis, which comes from the Latin word digitālis, meaning "relating to a finger,”we recognizedigit, which derives from Latin digitus, "finger, toe.” In Modern Latin the genus name was chosenbecause the German name for the foxglove isFingerhut, "thimble,” or literally "finger hat.” The second part of our wordfoxglove also refers to the similarity of the foxglove blossoms to the fingers of a glove. Digitalis is first recorded in English in a work published in 1664. 毛地黄 属的植物毛地黄, 是治疗心脏病的重要药物,与身体另一部位手指有关。Digitalis 来自于拉丁语 digitalis , 意指“与手指有关的”。我们认为digit 来源于表示“手指,脚趾”的拉丁语 digitus 。 在新拉丁语中选定了种属名称,是因为熟地的日耳曼语名称是Fingerhut “指套”或字面上的“指套”。 Foxglove 的第二部分是指毛地黄开花时与手套的指头很相似。 英语中第一次记录Digitalis 的作品是在1664年发表 〔thimble〕alteration of Old English thȳmel [leather finger covering] 古英语 thȳmel的变化 [皮制指套] |
