vaseline[vaseline 词源字典]

vaseline: [19] The term vaseline was coined around 1872 as a trade name for a sort of petroleum jelly newly brought out by the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company. The first syllable, vas-, comes from an anglicized spelling of German wasser ‘water’; the second represents the el- of Greek élation ‘oil’; and the third is the scientific-sounding suffix -ine.
