英文詞源
- hawthorn
- hawthorn: [OE] The hawthorn appears to be etymologically the ‘hedgethorn’. Its first element, haw, which in Old English was haga, goes back to a prehistoric Germanic *khag-, which also produced English hedge and possibly haggard (German hagedorn, Dutch haagdoorn, and Swedish hagtorn share the same ancestry). The name of the tree’s fruit, haw [OE], is presumably either a back-formation from hawthorn, or an abbreviation of some lost term such as *hawberry ‘hedgeberry’. Hawfinch dates from the 17th century.
=> haggard, hedge - hawthorn (n.)
- Old English hagatorn, earlier h?gutorn "hawthorn, white thorn," from obsolete haw "hedge or encompassing fence" (see haw (n.)) + thorn. A common Germanic compound: Middle Dutch hagedorn, German hagedorn, Swedish hagtorn, Old Norse hagtorn.
