Middle English diabete 中古英语 diabete 2. from Medieval Latin diab¶t¶s 源自 中世纪拉丁语 diab¶t¶s 3. from Latin 源自 拉丁语 4. from Greek [siphon, diabetes] 源自 希腊语 [呼吸管,糖尿病] 5. from diabainein [to cross over, straddle] 源自 diabainein [穿越,跨立] 6. dia- [dia-] dia- [前缀,表“有始有终的”] 7. bainein [to go] * see g w³- bainein [去] *参见 g w³- 注释:Diabetes is named for one of its distressing symptoms.The disease was known to the Greeks asdiab¶t¶s, a word derived from the verbdiabainein, made up of the prefixdia-, “across, apart,” and the word bainein, “to walk, stand.” The verbdiabeinein meant “to stride, walk, or stand with legs asunder”; hence, its derivativediab¶t¶s meant “one that straddles,” or specifically “a compass, siphon.”The sense “siphon” gave rise to the use ofdiab¶t¶s as the name for a disease involving the discharge of excessive amounts of urine. Diabetes is first recorded in English, in the formdiabete, in a medical text written around 1425. 糖尿病因其痛苦的症状之一而得名。此病症闻名于希腊语diabetes , 是动词diabainein 派生出的单词, 由前缀dia- “穿过,隔开”和单词 bainein “走,站”构成。 动词diabeinein 表示“跨过,走过或两条腿分开站着”; 因此,其派生词diabetes 表示“一个人叉腿站着”, 或专指“指南针,虹吸管”。在diabetes 使用“虹吸管”是表示排尿量过多的一种病的名称。 Diabaets 一词第一次被记录到英文中是在1425年前后的一本医学课本中,以diabete 的形式出现 |
