英语词汇hemp的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hemp. Hearing the prophecy “When hemp is spun, England’s done,” Francis Bacon, despite his scientific training, gave the following interpretation of it, which he had heard as a child. Hempe, he explained, is an acrostic, a word formed from the first letters of the name of five of England’s rulers: Henry, Ed- ward, Mary with Philip, and Elizabeth. When the last one of them, Elizabeth, died in 1603—when Hempe was spun or finished—England was done, for the new king James was not called king of England, but the king of Great Britain and Ire- land. In truth hemp, the fiber of the cannabis plant, derives from the Old English name for the plant.
