英文词源
- mead
- mead: [OE] Mead goes back ultimately to Indo- European *medhu- which meant ‘sweet drink’ (it was also the source of Greek méthu ‘wine’, from which English gets methyl [19] and hence methylated spirits [19]). Its prehistoric Germanic descendant was *meduz, from which come German met, Dutch mede, Swedish mj?d, and Danish mj?d as well as English mead.
=> methyl - mead (n.1)
- "fermented honey drink," Old English medu, from Proto-Germanic *meduz (cognates: Old Norse mj?er, Danish mj?d, Old Frisian and Middle Dutch mede, Old High German metu, German Met "mead"), from PIE root *medhu- "honey, sweet drink" (cognates: Sanskrit madhu "sweet, sweet drink, wine, honey," Greek methy "wine," Old Church Slavonic medu, Lithuanian medus "honey," Old Irish mid, Welsh medd, Breton mez "mead"). Synonymous but unrelated early Middle English meteglin yielded Chaucer's meeth.
- mead (n.2)
- "meadow," Old English m?d, Anglian med "meadow, pasture," from Proto-Germanic *medwo (cognates: Old Frisian mede, Dutch made, German Matte "meadow," Old English m?t "harvest, crop"), from PIE *metwa- "a mown field," from root *me- (4) "mow, cut down grass or grain" (see mow (v.)). Now only archaic or poetic.
