英语词汇raspberry的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

raspberry. Known to the Romans as the “Red Berry of Mount Ida” (hence the name of the British species Rubus idaeus) for Mount Ida in Greece, the raspberry takes its name from the En- glish rasp, “to scrape roughly,” in reference to the thorned canes bearing the berries. Raspberries have not been cultivated for nearly as long as fruits like apples, peaches, and pears. Called a brambleberry or hindberry and considered a nuisance in En- gland, it was not until about 1830 that the delicate, delicious fruit began to be developed in America. The Fanny Heath vari- ety is a tribute to a determined pioneer woman who immigrat- ed to North Dakota in 1881. This young bride had been told that she could never grow anything on the barren alkaline soil surrounding her house, but 40 years later her homestead was an Eden of flowers, fruits, and vegetables. After her death in 1931, the black raspberry she developed was named in her honor. A red raspberry variety honoring a famous person is the Lloyd George, named after British prime minister David Lloyd George (1863–1945), who led Britain to victory in World War I and dominated British politics in the first quarter of the 20th century. Raspberry meaning a bronx cheer, a rude vibrating of the lower lip, derives from British rhyming slang raspberry tart, which means “fart” and is at least a century old.
