攀爬植物,古英语 ifig,源自西日耳曼语 *ibakhs(也源自中低地德语 iflof,荷兰语 eiloof,古高地德语 ebahewi,德语 Efeu),一个起源不明的词; 古高地德语中的第二个成分可能是 heu “干草”。
作为酒馆标志的 Ivy bush 可追溯到15世纪中叶(常见于常春藤神圣的巴克斯)。Ivy League 的意象源于古老的常春藤覆盖的墙壁,最早可追溯到1935年,最初指的是一场足球队同意按照规定的规则组织球队并进行比赛的会议; 它由布朗大学、哥伦比亚大学、康奈尔大学、达特茅斯学院、哈佛大学、宾夕法尼亚大学、普林斯顿大学和耶鲁大学组成。
Incidentally, "Ivy League" is a poor name; it suggests that athletic morality is concentrated in a few very old colleges. Obviously, membership should be determined not by the amount of ivy on an institution's walls, but by its willingness to adopt and follow certain fundamental principles of education and sport. [Princeton Alumni Weekly, Dec. 6, 1935]
顺便说一句,“常春藤联盟”是一个不太好的名字; 它暗示了体育道德集中在一些非常古老的学院。显然,成员资格不应该由机构墙上的常春藤数量来决定,而应该由其愿意采纳和遵守某些基本的教育和体育原则来决定。[普林斯顿校友周刊,1935年12月6日]
