marmoset
英 ['mɑːməzet]
美 ['mɑrməzɛt]
marmoset 绒栖于中南美洲的小长尾猴。来自古法语marmoset,小丑，弄臣，怪异的长相，来自marmotter,嘀咕，咕哝，拟声词。可能是因为这种猴子长相怪异而借用该古法语词来命名。
- marmoset (n.)
- "small monkey," late 14c., from Old French marmoset "grotesque figurine; fool, jester" (late 13c.), perhaps a variant of marmote "long-tailed monkey, ape," then, as a term of endearment, "little child;" said to be from marmonner, marmotter "to mutter, mumble," probably of imitative origin. Some French authorities suggest a derivation of marmoset from marmor "marble," as if "little marble figurine."
