同一個字借第二次:音樂、舞、動作
這一支跟醬共用一個西班牙字,但來源沒有說明音樂為什麼取這個名字。所以這裡只說它們同源,不說誰從誰來。可以想成同一個字被英文借了第二次,落在完全不同的場景上。
noun · B1
A kind of Latin American dance music that grew up in New York out of Cuban dance music, jazz and rock.
騷莎音樂
The Spanish word behind all of this simply means sauce, and further back the Latin word means salted. Hold that: one borrowed word that English has taken up more than once. The first time it came in, it brought a bowl of chopped tomato, onion and to the table. The second time, the same word arrived on a record label, and then on the floor where people were dancing to that record, and finally as a verb for what they were doing. The sources give us the word's history but not the reason the music took it, so the honest picture is one Spanish word being , rather than a sauce turning into a song.
Wiktionary records salsa as borrowed from Spanish salsa, sauce, from Latin salsus, salted, and notes that English sauce is a doublet of it, arriving by way of Old French. So salsa and sauce are the same word on two different routes.
來源記載 salsa 借自西班牙文 salsa(醬),再往前是拉丁文 salsus(加了鹽的),並指出英文的 sauce 是它的同源雙式詞,走的是古法文那條路。也就是說,salsa 和 sauce 是同一個字走了兩條不同的路進到英文。
