中文詞源

wormwood 苦艾

來自古英語wermod,苦艾，由于該植物類似樟腦丸的功效，拼寫被俗化為worm和wood.部分學(xué)者認(rèn)為來自wer-,男人，詞源同virile,mod-,勇氣，詞源同mood,因苦艾在很早就被當(dāng)做壯陽藥使用而引發(fā)該聯(lián)想。

wormwood: wormwood: see vermouth
wormwood (n.): c. 1400, folk etymology of Old English wermod "wormwood, absinthe," related to vermouth, but the ultimate etymology is unknown. Compare Old Saxon wermoda, Dutch wermoet, Old High German werimuota, German Wermut. Weekley suggests wer "man" + mod "courage," from its early use as an aphrodisiac. Figurative use, however, is usually in reference to its proverbial bitter aftertaste. Perhaps because of the folk etymology, it formerly was used to protect clothes and bedding from moths and fleas. "A medecyne for an hawke that hath mites. Take the Iuce of wormewode and put it ther thay be and thei shall dye." ["Book of St. Albans," 1486]
