单词 patella
释义

patellan.

Brit. /pəˈtɛlə/, U.S. /pəˈtɛlə/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin patella.
Etymology: < classical Latin patella small dish, kneecap, excrescence on the olive tree < either patina paten n. or patera patera n. + -la (see -ulus suffix). Compare French patelle kneecap (1611 in Cotgrave in an apparently isolated attestation). Compare earlier patel n.1For earlier use of Latin patella in an English context compare the following:OE tr. Medicina de Quadrupedibus (Vitell.) iii. 242 Wið cyrnlu, patella, þæt ys heortes heagospind [L. patella cervina, hoc est genu], gif þu hafast mid þe, ne arisað þe cyrnlu. The Old English translator was either using a corrupt Latin exemplar or has misread (and wrongly translated) Latin genu kneecap, as gena cheek.
