  • toadstone(n.)

    "石头或类似石头的物体,据说具有治疗或保护力量,并在某些蟾蜍的头部发现",1550年代,来自 toad + stone(n.)。翻译希腊语 batrakhites,中世纪拉丁语 bufonites; 还比较法语 crapaudine(13世纪),德语 krötenstein

    The Crapadine or Toadstone, we speak of before, you shall prove to be a true one, if the Toad lift himself so up against it, when it is shew'd or held to him, as if he would come at it, and leap to catch it away: he doth so much envy that Man should have that stone. ["Eighteen Books of the Secrets of Art & Nature," 1661]

  • tornado(n.)

    1550年代, ternado,航海家用来形容热带大西洋上的狂风暴雨,可能是从西班牙借用的变形词 tronada "暴风雨",源自 tronar "打雷",源自拉丁语 tonare "打雷"(参见 thunder(名词))。17世纪也有拼写为 tornathotornatheturnado 的情况; 1620年代开始使用现代拼写。现代拼写中 -o--r- 的音位转换受到了西班牙语 tornar "扭转,转动"的影响,源自拉丁语 tornare "转动"。"极其猛烈的旋风"的意思首次出现在1620年代; 特别指"破坏性的旋转漏斗云"(尤其在美国中西部)从1849年开始。相关词汇: Tornadic
