squirrel[squirrel 词源字典]

squirrel: [14] The squirrel’s name means etymologically ‘little shadow-tail’. It comes via Anglo-Norman esquirel from Vulgar Latin *scūriōlus, a diminutive form of *scūrius. This was an alteration of Latin sciūrus ‘squirrel’ (now the scientific name for the squirrel genus), which in turn came from Greek skíouros, a compound formed from skiá ‘shadow’ and ourá ‘tail’.
