costard 大苹果
来自拉丁词costa, 肋骨，边，词源同coast, accost. 因这种大苹果长相更像一根长辣椒或长肋骨而得名，而不是像通常的圆苹果。
英文词源
- costard (n.)
- late 13c., coster, perhaps from Anglo-French or Old French coste "rib" (from Latin costa "a rib;" see coast (n.)). A kind of large apple with prominent "ribs," i.e. one having a shape more like a green pepper than a plain, round apple. Also applied derisively to "the head." Common 14c.-17c. but limited to fruit-growers afterward.
