那株會螫人的植物
這一支就是畫面本身:一株長在路邊、碰到會刺的野草。
noun · B2
A common wild plant with rough, jagged leaves covered in tiny hairs that sting your skin and leave a burning, itchy rash if you brush against them.
蕁麻
Picture a soft-looking green plant at the edge of a path. Nothing about it says danger — the hairs that sting are too fine to see. You brush past, feel almost nothing at the time, and then your skin burns and for hours. A small, hidden sting that keeps on being felt.
The evidence records nettle from Middle English netle and Old English netle/netele, part of a shared Germanic word (German Nessel), a diminutive of an older root of unknown origin.
來源記載這個字從中古英語 netle、古英語 netle/netele 而來,是日耳曼語族共有的字(德語 Nessel 同源),更早的字根來歷不明。這說明植物的名字是最早的,動詞的用法是後來從名字長出來的。
