lymph[lymph 词源字典]

lymph: [17] Despite its Greek appearance, lymph comes, perhaps via French, from Latin. Its distant ancestor was Latin limpa or lumpa, which meant ‘water’. And that was the original sense of English lymph; not until the 18th century was it used for ‘clear bodily fluid’. The alteration of the Latin word to lympha appears to have been due to association with Greek númphē ‘nymph’. English limpid [17] comes from Latin limpidus ‘clear’, which may have been related to limpa.
