labruscaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

名詞

labrusca (plural labruscas)

1. The fox grape (Vitis labrusca).

語源

Uncertain:

• if the first vowel was short, possibly a compound of labrum (“lip”) +‎ ūrō (“to burn”) +‎ -ca, in reference to its acidity - notice the substitution of the first member with lambō (“to lick”). This is supported by several ancient grammarians; other grammarians also refer it to labrum, but in the meaning “edge of the field” where it was usually found;
• if the first vowel was long, possibly from lābor (“to glide down”), but this leaves the second element unexplained.

Compare laburnum (“golden chain”) and rūscum (“butcher's broom”) for possible contamination sources.
