英语词汇orach的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	orach
词源	orach n. also arach, arrach, or orage, one of several old-world plants of the genus Atriplex, c. 1300, from Old French arrache, said to be from Latin atriplice, from Greek atraphaxus, but Prior proposes the source of the French is an unattested Medieval Latin aurago from aurum, "gold" + ago, "wort" (as in borage, plantago, etc.). Entries linking to orach* borage n. blue-flowered plant used in salads, etc., mid-13c., from Anglo-French burage, Old French borage (13c., Modern French bourrache), from Medieval Latin borrago, which also is the source of Spanish boraja, Italian borraggine, German Boretsch. The Medieval Latin word was held by folk-etymology to be from Arabic abu arak, literally "the father of sweat," supposedly so called by Arab physicians for its effect on humans. But OED and other sources find it rather to be from Latin borra "rough hair, short wool," in reference to the texture of the foliage. Related: Boraginaceous. updated on February 01, 2023
