來源:Middle English camelioun 中古英文 camelioun from Latin chamaeleôn 源自 拉丁語 chamaeleôn from Greek khamaileôn 源自 希臘語 khamaileôn khamai [on the ground] * see dhghem- khamai [在地面上] *參見 dhghem- leôn [lion] loan translation of Akkadian nôô qaqqari [ground lion, lizard] * see lion leôn [獅] 阿卡德文 nôô qaqqari的翻譯借詞 [蜥蜴] *參見 lion

<注釋>The words referring to the animal chameleon and the plant chamomile are related etymologically by a reference to the place one would expect to find them, that is, on the ground.The first part of both words goes back to the Greek formkhamai, meaning .on the ground.. What is found on the ground in each case is quite different, of course.Thekhamaileôn is a .lion [ leôn ] on the ground,. a term translating the Akkadian phrasenôô qaqqari. Thekhamaimôlon is .an apple [ môlon ] on the ground,. so named because the blossoms of at least one variety of this creeping herb have an applelike scent.Both words are first found in Middle English,chameleon in a work composed before 382 andchamomile in a work written in 373. 指動物變色蜥蜴和植物春 * 的詞,在詞源上通過人們預期可找到它們的地點(即地面上)而相關聯。這兩個詞的前一部分都可追溯到希臘形式khamai 意思為.在地面上。. 當然,兩種情形下在地面上發現的東西是非常不同的。Khamaileon 是指.地面上的獅子 [ leon ]., 即阿卡得短語nes qaqqari 翻譯過來的詞語。 Khamaimelon 是指.地面上的蘋果 melon ., 之所以這么命名是因為至少有一類這種蔓生草本植物所開的花具有類似蘋果的氣味。兩個詞最初出現在中古英文裡面,chameleon 出現於382年前的一部作品, chamomile 出現於373年的一部作品裡 注釋>
