英语词汇german measles的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

German measles; German shepherd; etc. During both World Wars anything German was anathema to her enemies. As Mencken points out, Bismarck herring became Eisenhower herring, sauerkraut, liberty cabbage, and German measles even became liberty measles. German measles, or rubella, is a milder virus disease than measles, though particularly dangerous to the offspring of pregnant women who are exposed to it; the German may be spurious in that sense, but the disease could be so named because it was first identified by Dr. Friedrich Hoffmann, a German physician, in 1740. Similarly, German silver was initially made at Hildburghausen, Germany, al- though the fact that it is a silvery alloy, a fake silver compound of copper, nickel, and zinc, may have influenced its name. Typ- ical of words using the national adjective is the now ubiquitous German shepherd guard dog. See alsatian; measly; rottweiler.
