词汇 | pheasant |
词根词缀 | 词源: 1299, from Anglo-Fr. fesaunt, O.Fr. faisan (13c.), from L. phasianus, from Gk. phasianos "a pheasant," lit. "Phasian bird," from Phasis, river flowing into the Black Sea in Colchis, where the birds were said to have been numerous. The ph- was restored in Eng. late 14c. The excrescent -t is due to confusion with -ant suffix of nouns formed from prp. of verbs in first L. conjugation (peasant, tyrant, etc.). |
