Arizona

英 [,æri'zəunə] 美
  • n. 美国亚利桑那州

助记提示


Arizona这个词语中,除了词尾的那个a,其余部分来自美国西南印第安人部落的帕帕哥语。Ari意为稀有,Zon意为泉水,合起来就是“稀有泉水”。亚利桑那地处沙漠,这样一来这个地名就很易于理解了。后来西班牙人来了,根据拉丁文字表地名的习惯在词语最后加了个ae。传承中e被省略,剩下了Arizona。

英文词源


Arizona
1861, originally as the name of a breakaway Confederate region of southern New Mexico; organized roughly along modern lines as a U.S. territory in 1863. From Spanish Arizonac, probably from a local name among the O'odham (Piman) people meaning "having a little spring." Alternative theory is that it derives from Basque arizonak "good oaks."
