mat·a·dor
mae t dor
复数:matadors
"斗牛中杀牛者",1670年代,来自西班牙语 matador,字面意思为"杀手",源自 matar "杀死",其起源不确定。可能来自拉丁语 mactāre "杀死",最初是"通过祭祀来荣誉",但这会带来语音上的困难:"这个拉丁语基础的正常演变会在葡萄牙语中产生 *meitar,在西班牙语中产生 *mechar" [Eva Núñez Méndez,"Diachronic Applications in Hispanic Linguistics"]。另一种可能是阿拉伯语 mata "他死了",来自波斯语(见 checkmate 中的第二个元素)。女性形式为 matadora。
Spanish, from matar to kill
The first known use of matador was in 1681
