英文词源


hive
hive: [OE] Hive comes ultimately from Indo- European *keup-, which denoted ‘round container, bowl’ and also produced Greek kúpellon ‘drinking vessel’, Latin cūpa ‘barrel’ (source of English coop, cooper, and cupola), and its post-classical offshoot cuppa (whence English cup). (A variant of the Indo-European base was the source of English head.) The Germanic descendant of *keup- was *khūf-, from which came Old Norse húfr ‘ship’s hull’ and English hive.
=> coop, cooper, cupola, cup, head
hive (n.)
Old English hyf "beehive," from Proto-Germanic *hufiz (cognates: Old Norse hufr "hull of a ship"), from PIE *keup- "round container, bowl" (cognates: Sanskrit kupah "hollow, pit, cave," Greek kypellon "cup," Latin cupa "tub, cask, vat"). Figurative sense of "swarming, busy place" is from 1630s. As a verb, of bees, etc., "to form themselves into a hive," c. 1400; "to put bees in a hive," mid-15c.
