Jeep的词源

英文词源

jeep (n.): early 1941, American English military slang, from G.P. "general purpose (car)," but influenced by Eugene the Jeep (who had extraordinary powers but only said "jeep"), from E.C. Segar's comic strip "Thimble Theater" (also home of Popeye the Sailor). Eugene the Jeep first appeared in the strip March 13, 1936. The vehicle was in development from 1940, and the Army planners' initial term for it was light reconnaissance and command car.

来自军事用语缩写词G.P.,全称为general purpose car.受当时流行的漫画人物大力英雄Eugene the Jeep影响，最终变成了jeep.
