來源：
By folk etymology from Middle English crevise
源自 中古英文 crevise的民間詞源
from Old French crevice
源自 古法文 crevice
perhaps from Old High German krebiz [edible crustacean] * see gerbh-
可能源自 古高地德文 krebiz [可食用甲殼類動物] *參見 gerbh-

<注釋>The crayfish, also known as the crawfish, owes its name to a misunderstanding.The actual source of the word may be the Old High German wordkrebiz, .edible crustacean,. or a word related to it.From this Germanic source came Old Frenchcrevice, which when taken into English becamecrevise (first recorded in a document written in 3-32). In Old French and Middle English these words designated the crayfish.People began to pronounce and spell the last part of this word as if it werefish, the firstfish spelling (actually fysshes ) being recorded in 555. Because of a variation in Anglo-Norman pronunciation,two forms of the word have come down to Modern English:crayfish and crawfish.
螯蝦又名crawfish，正是出於誤解才有現在這個名字。該詞的真正來源可能是古高地德文中krebiz 一詞， 意為.可食用的甲殼類動物.，或與之相關的一詞。從這個日耳曼語詞源中出現了古法文crevice 一詞， 該詞被借用入英文中變成了crevise （初次記錄在3-32年間所寫的一個檔案中）。 在古法文和中世紀英文中這一詞被稱為crayfish。人們開始用fish 來發音和拼寫這個詞的後半部分， 而第一個fish 拼寫法（實際上是 fysshes )被記錄於555年。 由於英國法文發音的差異，這個詞的兩種變體，即crayfish 和 crawfish 就共同延續到了現代英文中
