词汇 | sassafras |
词根词缀 | 词源: "small flowering tree of N.America," 1577, from Sp. sasafras, perhaps an adaptation of saxifraga "saxifrage," from L.L. saxifragia, variant of saxifraga (see saxifrage). But the connection of the plants is difficult to explain, and the word perhaps represents a lost Native Amer. name that sounded like Sp. saxifraga and was altered to conform to it. Tree supposedly discovered by the Spanish in 1528. |
