单词 samphire
释义

samphiren.

Brit. /ˈsamfʌɪə/, U.S. /ˈsæmˌfaɪ(ə)r/
Forms: 1500s sampere, sampiere, samphier, 1500s–1700s sampier, 1500s–1800s sampire, 1600s sampeir, samper, samphyre, 1600s– samphire.
Etymology: In 16th cent. sampere, -pire (the altered form may have been assimilated to camphire), < French (herbe de) Saint Pierre (Cotgrave 1611), lit. ‘St. Peter's herb’. Compare modern Latin sampetra (in Dodoens ed. 1616). Diefenbach cites modern Latin herba divi Petri from a work of 1694. Compare German meerpeterlein. Possibly the attribution to St. Peter may have been suggested by late Latin petra (French pierre) rock.
1.
