中文詞源
musket 火槍，毛瑟槍
來(lái)自中古法語(yǔ)mousquette,雀鷹，來(lái)自拉丁語(yǔ)musca,蚊子，蒼蠅，詞源同midge,mosquito.因高飛的鷹看起來(lái)如同一只蚊子而得名。后用這種雀鷹來(lái)命名17，18世紀(jì)發(fā)明的一種新式火槍，即毛瑟槍。比較dragoon,dragon.
英文詞源
- musket
- musket: see mosquito
- musket (n.)
- "firearm for infantry" (later replaced by the rifle), 1580s, from Middle French mousquette, also the name of a kind of sparrow-hawk, diminutive of mosca "a fly," from Latin musca (see midge). The hawk so called either for its size or because it looks speckled when in flight. Early firearms often were given names of beasts (compare dragoon, also falcon, a kind of cannon mentioned by Hakluyt), and the equivalent word in Italian was used to mean "an arrow for a crossbow." The French word was borrowed earlier into English (early 15c.) in its literal sense of "sparrow-hawk."
