| 释义 | 〔diabetes〕Diabetes is named for one of its distressing symptoms.The disease was known to the Greeks asdiabētēs, a word derived from the verbdiabainein, made up of the prefixdia-, "across, apart,” and the word bainein, "to walk, stand.” The verbdiabeinein meant "to stride, walk, or stand with legs asunder"; hence, its derivativediabētēs meant "one that straddles,” or specifically "a compass, siphon.”The sense "siphon" gave rise to the use ofdiabētēs as the name for a disease involving the discharge of excessive amounts of urine. Diabetes is first recorded in English, in the formdiabete, in a medical text written around 1425. 糖尿病因其痛苦的症状之一而得名。此病症闻名于希腊语diabetes ， 是动词diabainein 派生出的单词， 由前缀dia- “穿过，隔开”和单词 bainein “走，站”构成。 动词diabeinein 表示“跨过，走过或两条腿分开站着”； 因此，其派生词diabetes 表示“一个人叉腿站着”， 或专指“指南针，虹吸管”。在diabetes 使用“虹吸管”是表示排尿量过多的一种病的名称。 Diabaets 一词第一次被记录到英文中是在1425年前后的一本医学课本中，以diabete 的形式出现 〔crotch〕The angle or region of the angle formed by the junction of two parts or members, such as two branches, limbs, or legs.胯部：由两个分支、两条手臂或两条腿等两个部分交叉而成的角区或区域 |
