Wisteria
英 [wɪˈstɪə.ri.ə]
美 [wɪˈstɪr.i.ə]
wisteria 紫藤属植物来自18世纪美国植物学家Caspar Wistar,以表达对他的敬意,字母a拼做字母e为明显的打印讹误,但最后以讹传讹成为固定拼写。
- Wisteria (n.)
- genus of woody vines, 1819, formed by Thomas Nuttall, English botanist, in recognition of American anatomist Caspar Wistar (1761-1818) of Philadelphia + abstract noun ending -ia. The -e- apparently is a misprint. The Wistar Institute was founded in 1892 by his great-nephew and named for him.
