英文词源


dragoman
dragoman: [16] Dragoman ‘Arabic guide or interpreter’ comes via early modern French dragoman, Italian dragomano, medieval Greek dragómanos, early Arabic targumān, and Aramaic tūrgemānā from Akkadian targumānu ‘interpreter’, a derivative of the verb ragāmu ‘call’. It is one of the few English nouns ending in -man which forms its plural simply by adding -s (desman ‘small molelike animal’ is another).
dragoman (n.)
early 14c., from Old French drugemen, from late Greek dragoumanos, from Arabic targuman "interpreter," from targama "interpret." Treated in English as a compound, with plural -men.
