英文词源


pyramid
pyramid: [16] Egypt seems a likely ultimate source for pyramid, but its earliest known ancestor is Greek puramís, which passed into English via Latin pyramis. Pediment ‘triangular gable’ [17] probably originated as a garbling of pyramid, later influenced by ped-, the stem of Latin pēs ‘foot’.
=> pediment
pyramid (n.)
1550s (earlier in Latin form piramis, late 14c.), from French pyramide (Old French piramide "obelisk, stela," 12c.), from Latin pyramides, plural of pyramis "one of the pyramids of Egypt," from Greek pyramis (plural pyramides) "a pyramid," apparently an alteration of Egyptian pimar "pyramid." Financial sense is from 1911. Related: Pyramidal.
