英语词汇prairie dog的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	prairie dog
词源	prairie dog. Prairie dog was one of some 1,528 names given to animals, plants, and places observed on the Lewis and Clark Expedition into the Louisiana Territory in 1803—this said to be a record in vocabulary making. Captain Meriwether Lewis had first called the animal a barking squirrel, but this probably more accurate description was changed to prairie dog by his friend William Clark.
