中文词源
papillon 彩蝶，蝴蝶，蝴蝶犬
来自拉丁语papilio,蝴蝶，可能来自PIE*pal,触摸，摇动，触感，词源同feel,palpitate.前面pa-为pal-韵律重复。后用于指一种蝴蝶犬，因该犬耳朵旁两绺毛形似展翅的蝴蝶而得名。
英文词源
- papillon (n.)
- 1907, as a breed of dog, from French papillon, literally "butterfly," from Latin papilionem (nominative papilio) "butterfly," perhaps from a reduplicated form of PIE root *pal- "to touch, feel, shake."
The Latin word is cognate with Old English fifealde "butterfly," Old Saxon fifoldara, Old Norse fifrildi, Old High German vivaltra, German Falter. The dog so called for the shape of the ears.
