中文詞源
詞源不詳,可能來自希臘語Daphne,希臘神話仙女,因逃避阿波羅追求,投河自盡,死后化作月桂樹,阿波羅感慨萬千,用桂樹編成的花冠獎勵古希臘最優(yōu)秀的詩人。
英文詞源
- laurel (n.)
- c. 1300, lorrer, from Old French laurier (12c.), from Latin laurus "laurel tree," probably related to Greek daphne "laurel" (for change of d- to l- see lachrymose), probably from a pre-IE Mediterranean language. The change of second -r- to -l- after mid-14c. is by dissimilation. An emblem of victory or of distinction, hence the phrase to rest (originally repose) on one's laurels, first attested 1831.
