英文词源

calf

calf: English has two distinct words calf, both of Germanic origin. Calf ‘young cow’ goes back to Old English cealf, descendant of a prehistoric West Germanic *kalbam, which also produced German kalb and Dutch kalf. Calf of the leg [14] was borrowed from Old Norse kálfi, of unknown origin.

calf (n.1)

\"young cow,\" Old English cealf (Anglian cælf) \"young cow,\" from Proto-Germanic *kalbam (cognates: Middle Dutch calf, Old Norse kalfr, German Kalb, Gothic kalbo), perhaps from PIE *gelb(h)-, from root *gel- \"to swell,\" hence, \"womb, fetus, young of an animal.\" Elliptical sense of \"leather made from the skin of a calf\" is from 1727. Used of icebergs that break off from glaciers from 1818.

calf (n.2)

fleshy part of the lower leg, early 14c., from Old Norse kalfi, source unknown; possibly from the same Germanic root as calf (n.1).
