caterpillar词源

caterpillar

caterpillar: [15] Etymologically, a caterpillar is a ‘hairy cat’. The word comes ultimately from late Latin *catta pilōsa: catta is the source of English cat, while pilōsus ‘hairy’ is a derivative of Latin pilus ‘hair’, from which English gets pile of a carpet. In Old French *catta pilōsa became chatepelose, which passed into English as catyrpel.The present-day form arose in the 16th century, probably from association with the now obsolete piller ‘plunderer’ (related to English pillage) – caterpillars being regarded, of course, as plunderers of leaves. The notion that caterpillars resemble small furry mammals is also reflected in such names as pussmoth and woolly bear.=> cat, pile

caterpillar (n.)

mid-15c., catyrpel, probably altered (by association with Middle English piller \"plunderer;\" see pillage) from Old North French caterpilose \"caterpillar\" (Old French chatepelose), literally \"shaggy cat\" (probably in reference to the \"wooly-bear\" variety), from Late Latin catta pilosa, from catta \"cat\" (see cat (n.)) + pilosus \"hairy, shaggy, covered with hair,\" from pilus \"hair\" (see pile (n.3)). Compare also French chenille \"caterpillar,\" literally \"little dog.\" A Swiss German name for it is teufelskatz \"devil\'s cat.\" \"The caterpillar has in many idioms received the name of other animals\" [Kitchin, who cites also Milanese cagnon \"little dog,\" Italian dialectal gattola \"little cat,\" Kentish hop-dog, hop-cat, Portuguese lagarta \"lizard.\" Compare also American English wooly-bear for the hairy variety. An Old English name for it was cawelworm \"cole-worm.\" Caterpillar tractor is from 1908.
