英文詞源
- werewolf
- werewolf: [OE] Etymologically, a werewolf is probably a ‘man-wolf’. Its first element, were-, is generally assumed to be the same word as the long obsolete Old English noun wer ‘man’ (a relative of Latin vir ‘man’, from which English gets virile).
=> virile, world - werewolf (n.)
- late Old English werewulf "person with the power to turn into a wolf," from wer "man, male person" (see virile) + wulf (see wolf (n.); also see here for a short discussion of the mythology). Belief in them was widespread in the Middle Ages. Similar formation in Middle Dutch weerwolf, Old High German werwolf, Swedish varulf. In the ancient Persian calendar, the eighth month (October-November) was Varkazana-, literally "(Month of the) Wolf-Men."
