单词 cochineal
释义

cochinealn.

/ˈkɒtʃɪniːl/
Forms: 1500s–1700s cochenille, cochinelle, 1600s–1700s cochineel, cochinele, cocheneal, cochenile, 1600s– cochineal; also 1600s cochenel(le, cochanele, cochoneel, cochinella, cochonillio; 1500s cuchinilla, 1600s cuchineel, cuchinile, cucheneale, cuchanel, coucheneele, couchenille; 1500s–1600s cutchenele, 1600s cutcheneale, cutchineale, cutchyneale, cutchaneale, cutchanel(e, cutchoneal(e; (1600s quitchineel, chochineel, scutchenel, etc.).
Etymology: < French cochenille, < Spanish cochinilla or Italian cocciniglia. The latter is evidently a derivative of Italian coccino, Latin coccinum scarlet robe or vesture, Italian coccineo, Latin coccineus scarlet-coloured, < coccum scarlet, ‘grain’, originally ‘berry’, in Italian cocco ‘graine to dye scarlet with’ (Florio). Spanish has also cochinilla ‘woodlouse’, diminutive of cochina ‘sow’, and it has been said that cochinilla ‘cochineal’ is the same word, from the resemblance of the dried cochineal insects to woodlice in the same state; but this is apparently a secondary association arising out of the fortuitous identity of the words.
1. A dye-stuff consisting of the dried bodies of the insect Coccus cacti, which is found on several species of cactus in Mexico and elsewhere. It is used for making carmine, and as a brilliant scarlet dye; also in medicine as an antispasmodic, etc.
It was at first commonly supposed to be the berry or grain of a plant: see coccus n., alkermes n.
