英语词汇allspice的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

allspice. Allspice, or pimento (Pimenta dioica), is the dried, unripe berry of an aromatic 20- to 40-foot tree now found gen- erally in Jamaica and other West Indian islands. It should not be confused with pimientos, the fruits of certain capsicum gar- den peppers. Allspice has long been regarded, and feared, as an aphrodisiac. Pious Peter the Venerable forbade the monks un- der his charge at Cluny in 1132 to eat pimiento because it was “provokative to lust.” Allspice takes its name from the fact that the berry smells and tastes something like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves combined.
