pygmy词源中文解释
14世纪晚期，"Pigmei"，指神话中的矮人种族，由荷马和希罗多德描述，据说居住在埃及或埃塞俄比亚和印度，源自拉丁语 Pygmaei（单数 Pygmaeus），来自希腊语 Pygmaioi，复数形式为 Pygmaios，意为“矮人”，名词用法意为“矮小的人”。
从词源上讲，它的意思是“长度为 pygmē； pygmē 高”，来自 pygmē “肘到指节的长度”（字面意思是“拳头”），这是从肘到指节的长度（相当于18个“手指”，或约13.5英寸； 与 pyx “握拳”和拉丁语 pugnus “拳头”（来自 PIE 词根 *peuk- “刺”）有关。希腊人用这个词来指代这个民族，可能是一种民间词源的适应。
比喻意义上的“无足轻重的人”始于1590年代。17世纪认为它指的是黑猩猩或猩猩，有时这个词也被用来表示这个意思。这个古老的词被欧洲人用来指代赤道非洲种族，他们是新被他们发现的，从1863年开始，但这些部落可能为古人所知，很可能是传说的最初灵感来源。作为形容词，从1590年代开始使用。相关： Pygmean； Pygmaean。
