英语词汇husky的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

husky. Any man called husky, “stocky and muscular,” is actu- ally being compared to a sled dog—specifically, to a husky, or Eskimo dog, a strong breed capable of pulling great loads and covering 60 miles a day. Husky is used loosely for any arctic dog, but the breed is a recognized one. An unusual animal that yelps or howls like a wolf, although not closely related to the wolf, the husky normally feeds on fish and sleeps without shel- ter in the snow. Its name is a corruption of either the Tinneh Indian uskimi, “an Eskimo”; Esky, English slang for Eskimo; or the word Eskimo itself. Early explorers in the far north named the dog after the natives who bred it, and the dog’s name was later applied to trappers who exhibited the breed’s vigor, endur- ance, and stocky build.
