英语词汇fiddler crab的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	fiddler crab
词源	fiddler crab. The fiddler crab (Uca pugilator) takes its Ameri- can name from the one greatly enlarged claw in the male of the species, which to someone two centuries ago suggested a fid- dle. I’ve found no collective name for a group of these small, aggressive, burrowing crabs, but perhaps an “orchestra of fid- dlers” would do.
