英文词源
- glycerine
- glycerine: [19] Greek glukús meant ‘sweet’ (its derivative gleukos ‘sweet thing’ is the ancestor of English glucose [19]). It had a variant glukerōs, which the French chemist Michel- Eugène Chevreul took as the basis of a name of a recently discovered syrupy liquid obtained from fats or oils – glycerin (adopted by English as glycerine or glycerin).
=> glucose - glycerine (n.)
