英语词汇andes mountains的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	andes mountains
词源	Andes mountains. The name for these mountains derives from the Quecha andi, meaning “high crest.” The similarity of andi to the Egyptian andi for “high valley,” along with the simi- larity of other Egyptian and Quecha words, has led some ob- servers to suggest that Egyptian explorers may have traveled to South America in ancient times.
