英语词汇book的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

book; folio; bible; bibliography; volume; code. Smooth- skinned beech trees have always been the favorite of lovers carving their names or initials inside a heart. The outer bark of the beech and slabs of its thin, inner bark were also the first writing materials used by Anglo-Saxon scribes. Saxons called the beech the boc and also applied this name to their bound writings made from slabs of beech, the word becoming book af- ter many centuries of spelling changes. Numerous terms for things related to writing come from the names of raw material. Folio, now a book of the largest size, is from the Latin word fo- lium, “a tree leaf,” which also gives us the word foliage. Bible and related words, such as bibliography, derive from the Greek biblos, “the inner bark of papyrus.” Volume is from the Latin volumen, which meant “a roll of papyrus manuscript”; and code, for a system of laws, etc., is from the Latin codex, “the trunk of a tree,” from which wooden tablets were made to write codes upon.
