Middle English lopster, lobstere 中古英语 lopster, lobstere 2. from Old English loppestre 源自 古英语 loppestre 3. alteration perhaps influenced by loppe, lobbe [spider] 可能受 loppe的影响, lobbe [蜘蛛] 4. of Latin locusta 拉丁语 locusta的变化 继承用法:lob“sterer n.（名词）注释:A lobster and a locust may share a common source for their name,that is, the Latin wordlocusta, which was used for the locustand also for a crustacean that was probably a kind of lobster.We can see thatlocusta would be the source of locust, but it looks like an unlikely candidate as the source oflobster. It is thought, however, that Old Englishloppestre, the ancestor of lobster, was formed from locusta and the suffix-estre used to make agent nouns (our -ster ). The change from Latinlocusta to Old English loppestre may have been influenced by Old English loppe, meaning “spider.” 龙虾和蝗虫的名字可能源于同一出处，即拉丁词Locusta ， 它用于指蝗虫，也用于表示可能是一种龙虾的甲壳类动物。我们可以看到，Locusta 可能是 locusa 的来源， 但不象是lobster 的来源。 但是，lobster 在古英语里的前身 loppestre 被认为是由 locusta 形成的， 后缀-estre 用于组成代理者的名词（现在的 -soer ）。 从拉丁文locusta 到古英语 loppstre 的变化可能受古英语 loppe 的影响（意为“蜘蛛”） |
