<注釋>The word forcockroach in Spanish is cucaracha, which should certainly set anyone with an eye for etymology to thinking.Users of English did not simply borrow the Spanish word, however.Instead, they made it conform in appearance to other English words:cock, the word for rooster, and roach, the name of a fish. We do not know exactly why these words were chosenother than their resemblance to the two parts of the original Spanish word.We do know that the first recorded use of the word comes from a '24 work by the colonist John Smith.The form Smith used,cacarootch, is closer to the Spanish. A form more like our own,cockroche, is first recorded in '57.
cockroach 一詞在西班牙語中是 cucaracha ， 這當然使人們去思考語源。然而英文使用者不輕易地借用西班牙詞。相反的，他們使它與其他英文單詞的外形一致：cock ，意為公雞的單詞，以及 roach ，魚的名稱。 我們完全不知道這些單詞是如何選擇的，而不像西班牙原單詞的兩個部分。我們的確知道首次有記錄使用該單詞是在自由移住民約翰·史密斯'24年的作品中。史密斯使用的形式是cacarootch， 接近於西班牙語。 更加像我們自己的形式的cockroche ，在'57年首次有記錄
