Rome 羅馬
來(lái)自拉丁語(yǔ) Roma,羅馬，詞源不詳。一種說(shuō)法是來(lái)自 Romulus,傳說(shuō)中古羅馬人祖先，但是也 有學(xué)者指出該名字本身衍生自 Roma.另也有說(shuō)法認(rèn)為該詞來(lái)自 Rumon,穿羅馬城而過(guò)的 Tiber 河的古名，來(lái)自希臘語(yǔ) rheo,流動(dòng)，河流，詞源同 rheum,stream.
英文詞源
- Rome
- capital of Italy; seat of an ancient republic and empire; city of the Papacy, Old English, from Old French Rome, from Latin Roma, a word of uncertain origin. "The original Roma quadrata was the fortified enclosure on the Palatine hill," according to Tucker, who finds "no probability" in derivation from *sreu- "flow," and suggests the name is "most probably" from *urobsma (urbs, robur) and otherwise, "but less likely" from *urosma "hill" (compare Sanskrit varsman- "height, point," Lithuanian virsus "upper"). Another suggestion [Klein] is that it is from Etruscan (compare Rumon, former name of Tiber River).
Common in proverbs, such as Rome was not buylt in one daye (1540s); for when a man doth to Rome come, he must do as there is done (1590s); All roads alike conduct to Rome (1806).
