英文词源
- archer
- archer: [13] Like arch, archer comes from Latin arcus ‘curve, bow’. Its hypothetical Vulgar Latin derivative *arcārius ‘bowman’ passed via Old French archier and Anglo-Norman archer into English. The ultimate source of arcus was the Indo-European base *arkw-, from which English arrow eventually developed.
=> arc, arch, arrow - archer (n.)
- late 13c., from Anglo-French archer, Old French archier "archer, bowmaker," from Latin arcarius, from arcus "bow" (see arc). Also a 17c. name for the bishop in chess.
