pickle的词源

英文词源

pickle (n.): c. 1400, probably from Middle Dutch pekel "pickle, brine," or related words in Low German and East Frisian (Dutch pekel, East Frisian päkel, German pökel), of uncertain origin or original meaning. Klein suggests the name of a medieval Dutch fisherman who developed the process. Originally a sauce served with meat or fowl; meaning "cucumber preserved in pickle" first recorded 1707, via use of the word for the salty liquid in which meat, etc. was preserved (c. 1500). Figurative sense of "sorry plight" first recorded 1560s, from the time when the word still meant a sauce served on meat about to be eaten. Meaning "troublesome boy" is from 1788, perhaps from the notion of being "imbued" with roguery.
pickle (v.): 1550s, from pickle (n.). Related: Pickled; pickling.

; pickle 腌汁，泡菜

一般辞书认为，pickle源自中世纪荷兰语pekel,但有一种说法认为，它源于14世纪一个名叫William Beukel/BukelzD的荷兰人的姓氏。此人乃渔民，局势他发明了腌菜和泡菜的制作方法，因此人们就用其姓氏Beukel来指腌汁，泡菜等，以后该词逐渐演变为pekel，英语作pickle。
