praying mantis螳螂
1650年代,"一种把前肢放在祈祷姿势的昆虫"(尤指螳螂, Mantis religiosa),现代拉丁文,源自希腊文 mantis,用于指一种长身体,前肢长的昆虫(希腊诗人忒欧克利托斯),字面意思是 "一个预言家,先知",来源于 mainesthai "被灵感启发",与 menos "激情,精神"有关,源自 PIE *mnyo-,是 *men-(1)的带后缀形式,意思是 "思考",它的派生词是要么指思想或头脑的品质和状态(参见 mania 和 -mancy)。
这些昆虫生活在世界的温带和热带地区,因为其把前肢像在祈祷一样的方式而得名。mantis shrimp(1853年之后; 更早的是 sea-mantis,1690年代)因其与昆虫的相似而得名。
New Latin, from Greek, literally, diviner, prophet; akin to Greek mainesthai to be mad — more at mania
The first known use of mantis was in 1646
