Spanish contains two homographs spelledflamenco, one of which means "Flemish, Andalusian Gypsy,”and the other, "flamingo.” Flamenco in the former sense comes from the Middle Dutch wordVlāming, meaning "Fleming.” Flamenco, "flamingo,” comes ultimately from Latinflamma, "flame,” referring to the fiery red plumage of the bird.Is the dance named for its flamingolike fieriness or its Flemishness?It would seem that some kind of association between Gypsies and people of Flemish extraction explains the use offlamenco, "Fleming, Andalusian Gypsy,” as the name of a dance originally associated with the Andalusian Gypsies.The English wordflamenco, borrowed from Spanish, is first recorded in 1896.Flamenco 一词的词源可以在鸟类学和北欧的领域中大量找到。 西班牙语中有两个拼写为flamenco 的同形异义词， 其中的一个意义为“佛兰芒人，安达鲁西亚吉普赛人，”另一个意义为“红鹤”。 Flamenco 原有的意义来源于中古荷兰语Vlaming， 意思是“佛兰芒人。” Flamenco 作“红鹤”意思讲时，最初是来自拉丁语的flamma， 意为“火焰，” 指这种鸟火红的羽毛。这种舞的命名是由于它象红鹤般的猛烈呢，还是由于它与佛兰芒人有关?吉普赛人与佛兰芒血统的人之间的某种联系似乎解释了flamenco “佛兰芒人，安达鲁西亚吉普赛人”的这种用法， 即作为最初与安达鲁西亚吉普赛人有关的一种舞的名称。源于西班牙语借用而来的英语词flamenco， 最早记载于1896年〔White〕British naturalist known for his classic work of ornithology,Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne (1789). 怀特，吉尔伯特：(1720-1793) 英国博物学家，以其关于鸟类学的经典著作《塞尔伯恩博物志及古迹》 （1789年）而闻名于世 |
