加仑(gallon)是英制容量单位,通常用于液体,13世纪后期起源于古北法语 galon,对应于古法语 jalon,是一个大致相当于现代加仑的液体容量单位的名称,与 jale(碗)相关,可能是中世纪拉丁语或通俗拉丁语的增强形式 galleta(桶,水桶),也是一种葡萄酒的容量单位,这个词的起源不详,可能来自高卢语 galla(容器)。
[拉congius]加仑:容量单位,含四夸脱(3785毫升),在美国为231立方英寸
Middle English galun, galoun, galon, a liquid measure, borrowed from Anglo-French galun, galon, jalon, from Old French jal-, base of jaloie "container for liquids, bucket" (going back to Vulgar Latin *gallēta, of uncertain origin) + -on, diminutive or particularizing suffix, going back to Latin -ō, -ōn-, suffix of persons with a prominent feature Note: Presumed *gallēta (attested as Medieval Latin galeta "wine vessel, liquid measure" in 11th-century texts) has been linked to several classical Greek words for containers, as kálathos "kind of basket, wine cooler," kēlástra "milk pail" (so glossed by Hesychius), though none of these fit formally; on the other hand, kēlḗtēs, kalḗtēs "sufferer from a hernia" (from kḗlē, kálē "tumor, hernia"; see -cele) fits formally but requires a contextual and semantic leap ("one swollen or ruptured" > "container"?).
The first known use of gallon was in the 13th century
