中文词源
cower 因恐惧而蜷缩，畏缩
来自低地德语kuren, 躺下，特指因恐惧躺倒，蜷缩，最终词源不详，可能来自PIE*sker, 弯，转，词源同curve,crumple. 其拼写比较tower,turret（炮塔，塔楼）。cow, coward, cower三词在拼写上可能存在相互影响，但是在词源上没有任何联系。
英文词源
- cower (v.)
- c. 1300, probably from Middle Low German *kuren "lie in wait" (Modern German kauern), or similar Scandinavian words meaning "to squat" and "to doze" (such as Old Norse kura, Danish, Norwegian kure, Swedish kura). Thus unrelated to coward. Related: Cowered; cowering.
