span[span 词源字典]

span: [OE] Span is of Germanic origin, with relatives in German and Dutch spanne, Swedish spann, and Danish spand. It originated in the notion of the distance between the tip of the thumb and the tip of the little finger. The verb span was derived in the 14th century from the noun. Its German relative spannen ‘stretch, tighten’ produced the derived noun spanner, which was borrowed by English in the 17th century.
