英文词源
- gill
- gill: English has three separate words gill. The oldest, gill ‘ravine’ [11], was borrowed from Old Norse gil, a word of unknown ancestry. Gill ‘fishes’ breathing organ’ [14] probably also comes from an Old Norse *gil, never actually recorded, but deduced from modern Swedish gäl and Danish gjælle ‘gill’. It may well go back to a prehistoric Indo-European source which also produced Greek kheilos ‘lip’. Gill ‘quarter of a pint’ [14] comes via Old French gille from medieval Latin gillo ‘water-pot’.
- gill (n.1)
- "organ of breathing in fishes," early 14c., of unknown origin, perhaps related to Scandinavian words, such as Old Norse gjölnar which perhaps means "gills," and Old Danish -gæln (in fiske-gæln "fish gill"); said to be ultimately from a PIE *ghel-una- "jaw" (cognate: Greek kheilos "lip"). Related: Gills.
- gill (n.2)
- liquid measure (commonly a half-pint), late 13c., from Old French gille, a wine measure, and from Medieval Latin gillo "earthenware jar," words of uncertain origin, perhaps related to the source of gallon.
- Gill
- fem. proper name, shortened form of Gillian. Also see Jill. Gill-flirt "giddy young woman" is from 1630s.
