Saracen[Saracen 词源字典]

Saracen: [13] The Saracens were etymologically ‘people of the sunrise’ – hence ‘easterners’. The word comes via Old French Saracin and late Latin saracēnus from Greek Sarakēnós, which was probably adapted from Arabic sharqī ‘eastern’. This was a derivative of sharq ‘sunrise’. Sarsen [17] stones, large isolated boulders found in southern England, were probably named from some fanciful association with Saracens.
