英文词源

kitchen

kitchen: [OE] The Latin word for ‘kitchen’ was coquīna, a derivative of the verb coquere ‘cook’ (ultimate source of English cook, culinary, kiln, precocious, etc). It had a colloquial variant, *cocīna, which spread far and wide throughout the Roman empire. In French it became cuisine (borrowed by English in the 18th century), while prehistoric West Germanic took it over as *kocina. This has subsequently become German küche, Dutch keuken, and English kitchen – etymologically, a room where one ‘cooks’.
=> apricot, cook, culinary, kiln, precocious

kitchen (n.)

c. 1200, from Old English cycene, from Proto-Germanic *kokina (cognates: Middle Dutch cökene, Old High German chuhhina, German Küche, Danish kjøkken), probably borrowed from Vulgar Latin *cocina (source also of French cuisine, Spanish cocina), variant of Latin coquina "kitchen," from fem. of coquinus "of cooks," from coquus "cook," from coquere "to cook" (see cook (n.)).

The Old English word might be directly from Vulgar Latin. Kitchen cabinet "informal but powerful set of advisors" is American English slang, 1832, originally in reference to administration of President Andrew Jackson. Kitchen midden (1863) in archaeology translates Danish kjøkken mødding. Surname Kitchener ("one in charge of a monastic kitchen") is from early 14c. Old English also had cycenðenung "service in the kitchen."

kitchen：厨房

kitchen一词，来源于拉丁词coquo，即“cook（厨师）”。Coquo派生为coquina，cocina和cucina，古英语中变化为cycene，到了中古英语时期，又变作kitchene.这些词看起来似乎很复杂。实际上却又很合逻辑。厨房就是厨师工作的地方，从cook到citchen就是自然而然的了。

同出于coquo一源的还有：

biscuit（饼干），这是个法语词；bis，意思是“twice”；cuit即“cooked”；意思是说饼干是两次烤成的。这同德语词Zweiback（饼干）是很相似的，Zwei即“twice”；back即“bake（烘烤）”。

Cake（糕点）一词也来源于coquo，只是渠道不同罢了。

kitchen：厨房，炊具，烹饪法

来源于拉丁语动词co.quo, co.quere(烹饪)和名词culin.a, -ae, f(厨房)。
