mu·rex
myu reks
复数:murices或murexes
"紫色染料的一种贝类,始于1580年代,源自拉丁语 murex(复数 murices)“紫色鱼,紫色染料”,可能与希腊语 myax “海贝”同源,这个词的起源不明,可能与 mys “老鼠”有关(参见 muscle(n.)和 mussel)。
New Latin, from Latin, mollusk yielding a purple dye; akin to Greek myak-, myax mussel
The first known use of murex was in 1589
1 As each murex produced only a few drops of precious mucus, the manufacture of commercial quantities of Tyrian purple required the harvesting of vast quantities of these creatures.
