來(lái)源：
Spanish
西班牙語(yǔ)
Portuguese [from diminutive of] mosca [fly]
葡萄牙語(yǔ) [] 源自mosca的小后綴 [蒼蠅]
from Latin musca
源自 拉丁語(yǔ) musca

<注釋>Flies will never be popular creatures,in spite or because of their omnipresence.Two examples of the fly`s influence on our lives can be found in the etymologies of the wordsmosquito and musket, both of which can be traced back tomusca, the Latin word for fly.This Latin word becamemosca in Spanish and Portuguese, Romance languages that developed from Vulgar Latin. Mosquito, the diminutive of mosca, was borrowed into English (first recorded around 583) with the same sense .mosquito. that it had in Spanish and Portuguese. The Romance language French was the source of our wordmusket (first recorded around 587), which came from Frenchmousquet, but this word entered French from yet another Romance language, Italian.From the descendant of Latinmusca, Italian mosca, was formed the diminutive moschetta with the senses .bolt for a catapult. and .small artillery piece.. Frommoschetta came moschetto, .musket,. the source of Frenchmousquet. The use ofmoschetta, literally .little fly,. to mean .bolt from a crossbow.can be ascribed to the factthat both bolt and insect fly, buzz, and sting.
