aerie 鹰巢
该词源存在争议。可能来自area, 平地，小块地，借此鹰巢。
英英释意
- 1. the lofty nest of a bird of prey (such as a hawk or eagle)
- 2. any habitation at a high altitude
英文词源
- aerie (n.)
- "eagle's nest," 1580s (attested in Anglo-Latin from early 13c.), from Old French aire "nest," Medieval Latin area "nest of a bird of prey" (12c.), perhaps from Latin area "level ground, garden bed" [Littré], though some doubt this [Klein]. Another theory connects it to atrium. Formerly misspelled eyrie (1660s) on the mistaken assumption that it derived from Middle English ey "egg."
