The wordwoodchuck is probably a folk etymology of a New England Algonquian word—that is, English-speaking settlers "translated" the Indian word into a compound of two words that made sense to them in light of the animal's habitat.土拨鼠在美国有好几个名字。最有名的是groundhog， 在这个名字中关于动物冬眠的传奇已经出现了。在阿巴拉契亚山脉，土拨鼠被认作whistle pig 。 woodchuck 这个词可能是新英格兰阿尔贡金语中民间起源的语汇──就是说， 讲英语的殖民者的把这个印度语单词根据这种动物的习性“翻”成了两个字的合成词，以使其有意义〔Mitchell〕A peak, 2,038.6 m (6,684 ft) high, in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina.

Hence the whimsicalabsquatulate, "to squat away from.” Another such coinage is Northernbusticate, which joins bust with -icate by analogy with verbs like medicate. Southernargufy joins argue to a redundant -fy, "to make; cause to become.” These creations are largely confined to regions of the United States where change is slow,and where the 19th-century love for Latinate words and expressions is still manifest.For example, Appalachian speech is characterized by the frequent use ofrecollect, aggravate, oblige, and other such words. 美国英语的创造力有时表现在用拉丁文词缀去创造滑稽的假拉丁文“文雅”的单词。莎士比亚的语言是一先行者，他的戏剧中有大量创造出来的拉丁词。中部地区的absquatulate 有一前缀 ab-， 表“离开，走开，” 和一个后缀-ate， 表“以特殊方式行事，” 这些再加在一个不存在的词根上-squatul-， 也许是由squat 而来的。 所以奇特的absquatulate 表“走开，离开。” 另外一个这样的造词是从北部的busticate 来的，这是把 bust 加上 -icate 变来的，如同源动词 medicate。 南部的argufy 把 argue 加上多余的 -fy， 意为“变成；使成为”。 这种造词只见于美国变化较慢的地区，在那儿仍保持了19世纪那种喜好拉丁语词语的习惯。比如在阿巴拉契亚地区的语言中，如同recollect，aggravate，oblige 和其他这样一些词经常被使用的 〔Copland〕American composer whose works include the balletsRodeo (1942) and Appalachian Spring (1944), which won a Pulitzer Prize. 科普兰，艾伦：(1900-1990) 美国作曲家，其作品包括芭蕾舞剧《罗迪奥》 （1942年）及获普利策奖的 《阿巴拉契亚山脉的春天》 （1944年） 〔Piedmont〕A plateau region of the eastern United States extending from New York to Alabama between the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic coastal plain.皮埃蒙特山麓高原：美国东部一高原地区，从纽约州延伸至阿拉巴马州，位于阿巴拉契亚山脉和大西洋沿岸平原之间〔Graham〕American dancer and choreographer.
