英语词汇lobster的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

lobster. Lobsters are, in fact, a kind of bug. The word lobster itself is a melding of two foreign words: the Latin locasta, mean- ing “locust,” and the Anglo-Saxon lappe, which means “spider.” “Real” lobster is not the freshwater lobster that the French call écrevisse, or crawfish, the small European crustacean with no claws; or even the warm-water spiny lobster from which lobster tails are obtained and labeled langosta or langouste in some res- taurants. The true lobsters number among their ranks only Homarus americanus, often called Maine, or North Atlantic, lobsters; the smaller blue lobster of Europe, H. vulgaris; Neph- rops norvegicus, the orange Norwegian lobster, variously called lady lobster, scampi, or prawn; and H. capensis.
