词汇	ariadne
词源	Ariadne in Greek mythology, the daughter of Minos, king of Crete, abducted by Theseus; from Greek Ariadnē, a name of uncertain etymology, but probably Pre-Greek. Beekes points out that "An IE etymology is improbable for a Cretan goddess." Entries linking to ariadne Adrian masc. proper name, from Latin Adrianus, properly Hadrianus, literally "of the Adriatic" (see Adriatic). A name taken by several popes, including the only English pontiff, Nicholas Brakespear (died 1159). The proper name Adrienne, etc., when not a fem. form of this, is a transposition of Ariadne: Adriane is the usual form of Ariadne in Chaucer ("House of Fame," etc.). updated on June 29, 2019
