1680年代(哈克卢特,1560年代,有 Malestrand),挪威西北海岸著名的潮汐漩涡的名称,据说它会在任何时候吸入和摧毁靠近它的一切(实际上只有在特定条件下才危险),来自丹麦语 malstrøm(1673),源自荷兰语 Maelstrom(现代荷兰语 maalstroom),字面意思是“磨碎流”,由 malen “磨碎”(源自 PIE 词根 *mele- “压碎,磨碎”)和 stroom “流”(源自 PIE 词根 *sreu- “流动”)组成。
这个名称被荷兰地图制作者使用(例如墨卡托,1595年)。《牛津英语词典》称它可能最初来自法罗语 mal(u)streymur。从大约1841年开始,它被广泛用作“漩涡”的同义词,这一年是爱伦·坡的《降入漩涡》的出版年。
