英语词汇banyan tree的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	banyan tree
词源	banyan tree. Here is a tree named for merchants who sold their wares beneath it. The Indian tree, which spreads out by sprouting aerial extensions that grow into the ground to form new trunks, can cover an area large enough to shade thousands of people. Noticing this, Hindu merchants set up naturally shaded marketplaces underneath the trees and the British later named the tree after the merchants, banions, who traded there.
