英文詞源
- tadpole
- tadpole: [15] A tadpole is etymologically a ‘toad-head’. The word was coined from Middle English tadde ‘toad’ and pol ‘head’ (ancestor of modern English poll ‘voting’, historically a counting of ‘heads’). Tadpoles, with their moonlike faces appearing to take up about half of their small globular bodies, seem rather like animated heads.
=> poll, toad - tadpole (n.)
- mid-15c., from tadde "toad" (see toad) + pol "head" (see poll (n.)).
