climber 的词源
climber(n.)
15世纪初,“攀爬者”,是从动词 climb 衍生的名词。植物学上指“通过附着在某种支撑物上而向上生长的植物”,这个意思出现在1630年代。
Climbing plants are distinguished as stem-climbers, which like the hop, wind upward around an upright support, and as tendril-climbers, which, like the grape-vine, cling to adjacent objects by slender coiling tendrils. Other plants climb also by means of retrorse bristles or spines, or by means of rootlets. [Century Dictionary]
攀爬植物分为两类:stem-climbers(茎攀爬者),像啤酒花那样绕着直立支撑物向上盘绕,以及 tendril-climbers(卷须攀爬者),像葡萄藤那样通过细长的卷须依附于邻近物体。其他一些植物则通过向后弯曲的刚毛或刺,或通过根须来攀爬。[世纪词典]
