英文詞源
- molasses
- molasses: [16] The etymological connections of molasses are with ‘honey’ rather than ‘sugar’. It comes via Portuguese mela?o from late Latin mellāceum ‘fermenting grape juice, new wine’. This was a derivative of mel ‘honey’, source of English mellifluous [15] and related to mildew.
=> mellifluous, mildew - molasses (n.)
- 1580s, from Portuguese mela?o, from Late Latin mellaceum "new wine," properly neuter of mellaceus "resembling honey," from Latin mel (genitive mellis) "honey" (see Melissa). Adopted in English in plural form, but regarded as a singular noun.
