10. VIOLET
紫罗兰
Before we had the color violet, recorded by the late 1300s, we had the flower violet, emerging some decades earlier in the same century. Violet grows out of the French violete or violette, a diminutive of viole, in turn the Latin viola, its name for this distinctively purple flower. This viola has no etymological relationship to the instrument. Some scholars suspect Latin got viola from the Greek name for the plant, ion.
据记载,在14世纪末期人们用violet表示紫罗兰色,而再往前几十年,也是在14世纪,violet就指代紫罗兰鲜花。Violet来自于法语中的 violete或violette,它们是viole的指小词,而viole来自于拉丁语单词 viola,也就是拉丁语中对这种独特的紫色花朵的称呼。拉丁文viola(英语中有中提琴的意思)和中提琴毫无关系。一些学者认为,它来自于希腊语中对紫罗兰的称呼 ion。
