saddle, horse seat · noun · C2
A seat, usually of leather, that you fix on a horse's back so you can sit there and ride.
馬鞍
A good picture to hold is the curved leather seat onto a horse's back — shaped to the dip behind the shoulders, made so a person can sit firmly on a moving animal and steer it. Everything else is either that object moved somewhere new, or the situation of being up there on it.
Both the noun and the verb go back to Old English sadol / sadelian, from Proto-Germanic *sadulaz, possibly built on the Indo-European root *sed- 'to sit'. If so, the word's oldest content is simply 'the thing for sitting on'.
名詞的 saddle 來自古英文 sadol,動詞 saddle 來自同源的古英文 sadelian(把鞍裝上去),兩者都出自原始日耳曼語 *sadulaz;再往上有人推到印歐語根 *sed-「坐」(跟 sit、seat 同一家)。這條線雖然最上游不完全確定,但名詞和動詞同源這一段是清楚的——所以動詞和名詞不是兩個字,而是同一個東西的「物」與「把它裝上」兩面。

馬鞍
人在鞍上:騎乘與掌權
