中文词源

wormwood 苦艾

来自古英语wermod,苦艾,由于该植物类似樟脑丸的功效,拼写被俗化为worm和wood.部分学者认为来自wer-,男人,词源同virile,mod-,勇气,词源同mood,因苦艾在很早就被当做壮阳药使用而引发该联想。

英文词源

wormwood
wormwood: see vermouth
wormwood (n.)
c. 1400, folk etymology of Old English wermod "wormwood, absinthe," related to vermouth, but the ultimate etymology is unknown. Compare Old Saxon wermoda, Dutch wermoet, Old High German werimuota, German Wermut. Weekley suggests wer "man" + mod "courage," from its early use as an aphrodisiac. Figurative use, however, is usually in reference to its proverbial bitter aftertaste. Perhaps because of the folk etymology, it formerly was used to protect clothes and bedding from moths and fleas. "A medecyne for an hawke that hath mites. Take the Iuce of wormewode and put it ther thay be and thei shall dye." ["Book of St. Albans," 1486]
