中文詞源
lee 背風(fēng)處
來自古英語hleo,防御，保護(hù)，避難所，來自PIE*kele,溫暖，詞源同calm,calorie.后引申詞義背風(fēng)處。
英文詞源
- lee (n.)
- Old English hleo "shelter, cover, defense, protection," from Proto-Germanic *khlewaz (cognates: Old Norse hle, Danish l?, Old Saxon hleo, Dutch lij "lee, shelter"). No known cognates outside Germanic; original sense uncertain and might have been "warm" (compare German lau "tepid," Old Norse hly "shelter, warmth"), which might link it to PIE *kele- (1) "warm." Nautical sense "that part of the hemisphere to which the wind is directed" (c. 1400) is from the notion of the side of the ship opposite that which receives the wind as the sheltered side. As an adjective, 1510s, from the noun.
