mensa(n.)

“Mensa”(桌子),1848年,拉丁语,字面意思是“桌子”,也可以指“饭食、晚餐”,以及“祭坛、祭坛桌”,因此在教堂拉丁语中用于指“教堂祭坛的上部石板”(见 mesa)。大写的 M- 是英国于1946年成立的一个智商高于148的人的组织的名称,该组织选择这个名称是为了暗示一个“圆桌”类型的团体。这个星座(1763年)最初被称为 Mons Mensae “桌山”。它是天空中最暗淡的星座,没有一颗星亮度超过5.0。

La Caille, who did so much for our knowledge of the southern heavens, formed the figure from stars under the Greater Cloud, between the poles of the equator and the ecliptic, just north of the polar Octans; the title being suggested by the fact that the Table Mountain, back of Cape Town, "which had witnessed his nightly vigils and daily toils," also was frequently capped by a cloud. [Richard Hinckley Allen, "Star Names and Their Meanings," London: 1899]
