英文詞源
- bugle
- bugle: [14] Bugle originally meant ‘buffalo’ or ‘bull’. It comes via Old French bugle from Latin būculus, a diminutive form of bos ‘ox’ (a relative of English cow). It was used from the early 14th century in the compound bugle-horn, denoting a bull’s horn used either as a drinking vessel or as a hunting horn, and it was not long before bugle took on a separate life of its own in the ‘musical horn’ sense.
=> cow - bugle (n.)
- mid-14c., abbreviation of buglehorn "musical horn, hunting horn" (c. 1300), from Old French bugle "(musical) horn," also "wild ox, buffalo," from Latin buculus "heifer, young ox," diminutive of bos "ox, cow" (see cow (n.)). Middle English also had the word in the "buffalo" sense and it survived in dialect with meaning "young bull." Modern French bugle is a 19c. borrowing from English.
- bugle (v.)
- 1852, from bugle (n.). Related: Bugled; bugling (1847). Also compare bugler.
