英文词源


talon
talon: [14] Latin tālus meant ‘ankle’ (it was probably a borrowing from Celtic – Irish has sal ‘talon’). From it was derived Vulgar Latin *tālō ‘heel, spur’, which passed into English via Old French talon. In English its meaning evolved via ‘heel of an animal’ and ‘bird of prey’s claw’ to ‘claw’ in general.
talon (n.)
c. 1400, talounz "claws of a bird or beast," probably originally from Old French talon "heel or hinder part of the foot of a beast, or of a man, or of a shoe; foot-step" (12c.), from Medieval Latin talonem "heel," from Latin talus "ankle" (see talus (n.1)). "The extension to birds of prey, and subsequent stages, are peculiar to English" [OED].
