词汇 | meerkat |
词根词缀 | 词源: 1481, "monkey," from Du. meerkat "monkey" (related to O.H.G. mericazza), apparently from meer "lake" + kat "cat." But cf. Hindi markat, Skt. markata "ape," which could serve as a source of a Teutonic folk-etymology, even though the word was in Gmc. long before any known direct contact with India. First applied to the small South African mammals in 1801. |
