中文詞源
cower 因恐懼而蜷縮，畏縮
來(lái)自低地德語(yǔ)kuren, 躺下，特指因恐懼躺倒，蜷縮，最終詞源不詳，可能來(lái)自PIE*sker, 彎，轉(zhuǎn)，詞源同curve,crumple. 其拼寫(xiě)比較tower,turret（炮塔，塔樓）。cow, coward, cower三詞在拼寫(xiě)上可能存在相互影響，但是在詞源上沒(méi)有任何聯(lián)系。
英文詞源
- cower (v.)
- c. 1300, probably from Middle Low German *kuren "lie in wait" (Modern German kauern), or similar Scandinavian words meaning "to squat" and "to doze" (such as Old Norse kura, Danish, Norwegian kure, Swedish kura). Thus unrelated to coward. Related: Cowered; cowering.
