machete 砍刀，彎刀
來自西班牙語macho,錘子，鐵錘，-ete,小詞后綴，來自來自拉丁語mateola,錘子，鐵錘，詞源同mace.字面意思即小鐵錘，但后用于指砍刀，彎刀。參照電影《彎刀》。
英文詞源
- machete (n.)
- 1590s (in pseudo-Spanish form macheto), from Spanish machete, probably a diminutive of macho "sledge hammer," alteration of mazo "club," which is probably [Barnhart] a dialectal variant of maza "mallet," from Vulgar Latin *mattea "war club" (see mace (n.1)). An alternative explanation traces macho to Latin marculus "a small hammer," diminutive of marcus "hammer," from a base parallel to that of Latin malleus (see mallet).
