英语词汇oo的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

oo. Sometimes called Bishop’s oo (Moho bishopi), this most unusually named bird is a member of the honey eater family, birds that can eat nectar and flowers as a part of their diet. The Bishop of the bird’s name honors no churchman, but American Charles Reed Bishop (1822–1915), who married a Hawaiian princess and became powerful in the islands’ business and po- litical affairs. Oo is simply the Hawaiian word for unknown, perhaps because so little was known about the bird before it was named.
