carminative 的词源
carminative(adj.)
“驱散或具有驱散胀气作用的”,早在15世纪初就出现,源自拉丁语 carminativus,其词根来自 carminare(意为“梳理”),而 carminis 则是 carmen 的属格形式,意指“用于羊毛或亚麻的梳子”,这与 carrere(“梳理”)有关(参见 card (v.2))。
A medical term from the old theory of humours. The object of carminatives is to expel wind, but the theory is that they dilute and relax the gross humours from whence the wind arises, combing them out like knots in wool. [Hensleigh Wedgwood, "A Dictionary of English Etymology," 1859]
这是一个医学术语,源自古老的体液理论。驱风剂的目的是排出体内的气体,但理论认为它们能够稀释并放松产生气体的粗糙体液,就像梳理羊毛中的结块一样。[Hensleigh Wedgwood, "A Dictionary of English Etymology," 1859]
作为名词使用始于1670年代,指“驱风剂或药物”。
