prey词源中文解释

13世纪中叶, preie,“为食物而狩猎的动物,被任何食肉动物抓住以被吞噬的东西”(也比喻被撒旦等抓住的灵魂),还有“在战争中夺取的物品”,源自古法语 preie “战利品,狩猎中捕获的动物”(12世纪中叶,现代法语 proie),源自拉丁语 praeda “战利品,掠夺; 狩猎中捕获的动物”。

这源自更早的 praeheda,字面意思是“先前夺取的东西”,源自 PIE *prai-heda-; 第一个元素见 prae-; 第二个元素与 prehendere 中的第二个元素相关,意为“抓住,夺取”(源自 PIE 词根 *ghend- “抓住,夺取”)。

“掠夺或夺取任何东西的行为”意义始于14世纪初; bird of prey 始于14世纪末(fowl of prey 始于14世纪中叶)。
