释义

boniaton.

Brit. /ˌbəʊnɪˈɑːtəʊ/, U.S. /ˌboʊniˈɑdoʊ/
Forms: 1800s– boniata, 1800s– boniato.
Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymons: Spanish boniato, boniata.
Etymology: < American Spanish boniato, †boniata (a1575 in the passage translated in quot. 1800), earlier attributively or as adjective in yuca boniata, a variety of cassava with an edible tuber, as opposed to the poisonous variety (Oviedo 1526), of unknown origin.Perhaps compare post-classical Latin boniatum, denoting a mild or sweet chilli (Peter Martyr of Angleria 1523, in a description of Yucatán), which the context implies is from a local language; however, no likely etymon has been traced, and none of the early sources explicitly says that boniato (denoting an edible tuber) is of local origin.
A variety of sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas) developed in the Caribbean, having pink or purple skin and dry white flesh which is not as sweet as that of other varieties.
