fiddle-head 的詞源
fiddle-head(n.)
也稱爲 fiddlehead,意爲“頭部像小提琴一樣空洞的人”,1854年首次出現(fiddleheaded),源自 fiddle(小提琴)和 head(頭部)兩個詞。作爲年輕蕨類的名稱,從1877年開始使用,因爲它們與小提琴的卷軸相似。最早的用法是航海術語,指的是“船頭上雕刻的裝飾作品,呈卷軸或螺旋形狀”(1799年)。
There are three kinds of heads,—1st The Figure-head is one on which is placed the figure of a man, woman, or the like, &c.; 2d, The Billet-head, or Scroll-head is one finished with two scrolls or volutes ...; and 3d, the Fiddle-head, which is finished with only one scroll or volute, having the spirals turning inwards to the vessel. [Peter Hedderwick, "Treatise on Marine Architecture," Edinburgh, 1830]
有三種頭部,第一種是人物頭像,上面放置着男人、女人或類似的人物; 第二種是木頭頭像或卷軸頭像,上面有兩個卷軸或螺旋形狀……第三種是小提琴頭,只有一個卷軸或螺旋形狀,螺旋向內彎曲。[彼得·赫德里克,《海洋建築論》,愛丁堡,1830年]
