<注釋>The wordrhubarb may contain two hidden references to its origins. The first of these is in therhu- part of the word, which can be traced back to the Greek wordrha, meaning .rhubarb..According to the Late Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus,rhubarb was namedrha because it grew near the river namedRha, which we know as the Volga. The-barb part of rhubarb was actually added first to Late Latin rha, descended from Greek rha, in the form rhabarbarum, barbarum being the neuter form of barbarus, .foreign.. Another Greek word for rhubarb,rhôon, influenced the Late Latin word rhabarbarum, giving usreubarbarum, which yielded Old Frenchreubarbe. The Old French form gave us Middle Englishrubarbe, first recorded in a work written around 390.In imitation of the way the Greek wordrha is spelled, anh was added, completing the long journey of this word into English from the banks of the Volga in classical times.
單詞rhubarb 可能包含兩個關(guān)于其語源的隱藏的參考信息。 第一個是單詞中的rhu- 部分， 它可追溯到希臘單詞rha， 意為.大黃。.根據(jù)后期拉丁歷史學(xué)家阿米亞諾斯·馬塞勒斯的意見，大黃被命名為rha， 因為它生長在我們稱之為伏爾加河的Rha 河附近。 Rhubarb 中的 -barb 實際上最初以 rhabarbarum 的形式加在由希臘語 rha 傳下來的后期拉丁語 rha 上， barbarum作為 barbarus （.異族的.）的中性形式。 另一個表大黃的希臘單詞rheon 影響了后期拉丁單詞 rhabarbarum， 讓我們得到單詞reubarbarum， 并由此產(chǎn)生了古法語詞reubarbe 。 該古法語形式產(chǎn)生了中世紀(jì)英語rubarbe， 首次記錄在寫于390年左右的一本著作中。模仿希臘單詞rha 拼寫的方式， 再加上一個h， 從而完成了這個詞從古代伏爾加河岸轉(zhuǎn)變到英語的漫長歷程
