英文詞源
- stove
- stove: [15] Stove probably goes back ultimately to Vulgar Latin *extūfāre ‘take a steam bath’ (source also of English stew). From this was derived a noun denoting a ‘heated room used for such baths’, which was disseminated widely throughout the Romance and Germanic languages. In its modern German and Danish descendants, stube and stue, the meaning element ‘heat’ has disappeared, leaving simply ‘room’ (Latvian istaba, Serbo-Croat soba, and Polish izba ‘room’ represent borrowings from Germanic), but in the Romance languages (Italian stufa, Spanish estufa, Romanian soba) ‘heated room’ has shrunk to ‘heated cupboard for cooking, oven’.
The English word, borrowed from Middle Low German stove, has taken the same semantic course.
=> stew - stove (n.)
- mid-15c., "heated room, bath-room," from Middle Low German or Middle Dutch stove, both meaning "heated room," which was the original sense in English; a general West Germanic word (Old English stofa "bath-room," Old High German stuba, German Stube "sitting room").
Of uncertain relationship to similar words in Romance languages (Italian stufa, French étuve "sweating-room;" see stew (v.)). One theory traces them all to Vulgar Latin *extufare "take a steam bath." The meaning "device for heating or cooking" is first recorded 1610s.
