pickle 腌菜

來自荷蘭語pekel,鹵水，腌菜，最終詞源不詳，據說是來自中世紀發明這種腌菜的一個荷蘭漁夫的名字。

pickle (n.): c. 1400, probably from Middle Dutch pekel "pickle, brine," or related words in Low German and East Frisian (Dutch pekel, East Frisian p?kel, German p?kel), of uncertain origin or original meaning. Klein suggests the name of a medieval Dutch fisherman who developed the process. Originally a sauce served with meat or fowl; meaning "cucumber preserved in pickle" first recorded 1707, via use of the word for the salty liquid in which meat, etc. was preserved (c. 1500). Figurative sense of "sorry plight" first recorded 1560s, from the time when the word still meant a sauce served on meat about to be eaten. Meaning "troublesome boy" is from 1788, perhaps from the notion of being "imbued" with roguery.
pickle (v.): 1550s, from pickle (n.). Related: Pickled; pickling.
