Medusa

• n. 美杜莎（古希臘神話中3位蛇發女怪之一）

來自希臘語Medousa,古希臘神話中的戈耳工女妖，是三個長有尖牙，頭上長有大量毒蛇作頭發的恐怖女妖，後瑞典生物學家林奈借用該希臘詞來指水母，因水母觸角形似一條條毒蛇。其字麵意思為守護者，來自希臘語medein,保護，看管，來自PIE*med,測量，考慮，采取手段，詞源同measure,meditate.

medusa (n.)

"jellyfish," 1758, as genus name, from the name of one of the three Gorgons with snakes for hair, whose glance turned to stone him who looked upon it (attested in English from late 14c.). Her name is from Greek Medousa, literally "guardian," fem. present participle of the verb medein "to protect, rule over" (see Medea). The zoological name was chosen by Linnæus, suggested by the creature's long tentacles. Related: Medusoid.
