英语词汇buccaneer的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

buccaneer. Buccaneer was the name applied to themselves by the sea raiders roaming the Caribbean. The word derives from the boucanes, or little dome-shaped smokehouses, on Hispani- ola Island, where strips of boar meat and beef were smoked dry over a slow fire. The men who smoked viande boucanee, or “jerky,” and sold it in bundles of a hundred for six pieces of eight were called boucaniers, “smokers of meat.” Pirates in the area so often bought this dried meat from the boucaniers—it was perfect food to carry in the days before refrigeration—that they began to be called boucaniers or buccaneers, too.
