中文詞源
mackerel 鯖魚(yú)
來(lái)自古法語(yǔ)maquerel,皮條客，中介，中間人，進(jìn)一步詞源不詳。可能來(lái)自古日耳曼語(yǔ)，詞源同make，-erel,小詞后綴。取make做愛(ài)詞義，因這種魚(yú)在夏季會(huì)成群游到海岸附近產(chǎn)卵，場(chǎng)面壯觀，給古人留人一種這種魚(yú)情愛(ài)習(xí)慣特別熱烈的印象，因而得名。
英文詞源
- mackerel (n.)
- edible fish, c. 1300, from Old French maquerel "mackerel" (Modern French maquereau), of unknown origin but apparently identical with Old French maquerel "pimp, procurer, broker, agent, intermediary," a word from a Germanic source (compare Middle Dutch makelaer "broker," from Old Frisian mek "marriage," from maken "to make"). The connection is obscure, but medieval people had imaginative notions about the erotic habits of beasts. The fish approach the shore in shoals in summertime to spawn. Exclamation holy mackerel is attested from 1876.
