| 词汇 | stork |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： O.E. storc, related to stear "stiff, strong" (see stark), from P.Gmc. *sturkaz (cf. O.N. storkr, M.Du. storc, O.H.G. storah, Ger. Storch "stork"). Perhaps so called with reference to the bird's stiff or rigid posture. But some connect the word to Gk. torgos "vulture." O.C.S. struku, Rus. sterch, Lith. starkus, Magyar eszterag, Albanian sterkjok "stork" are Gmc. loan-words. The fable that babies are brought by storks is from Ger. and Du. nursery stories, no doubt from the notion that storks nesting on one's roof meant good luck, often in the form of family happiness. |
