英语词汇almond的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

almond; Jordan almond. Almonds, which came out of Chi- na, are today the most popular of all nuts worldwide. They es- pecially please the Japanese, who often have English signs read- ing “Almond” outside shops that would otherwise say “Bakery” or “Confectionery” in their own language. But then this ancient nut (mentioned 73 times in the Old Testament) has been asso- ciated with beauty and virility for centuries. Rich in protein, amino acids, magnesium, iron, calcium, and phosphorus, and a good source of vitamins B and E, the almond is also a harbin- ger of spring and the joyous expectancy of new life and love; in fact, the tree’s pale pink blossoms appear about the time that the swallows return to Capistrano. The word almond has its roots in amandola, the medieval Latin word for the nut. Jordan almonds come from Spain; they have no connection with the country named Jordan, as many people assume. The term “Jor- dan almond” is simply a corruption of the French jardin aman- de, which translates as “garden almond.”
