lion[lion 词源字典]

lion: [13] The word for ‘lion’ in virtually all modern European languages goes back to Greek léōn, which was presumably borrowed from some non-Indo-European source. From it came Latin lēo, which Old English took over as lēo. The modern English form lion was introduced in the 13th century via Anglo-French liun. Related forms include French lion, Italian leone, Spanish león, Romanian leu. German löwe, Dutch leeuw, Swedish lejon, Danish løve, Russian lev, and Welsh llew. The -leon of chameleon represents Greek léōn.
