中文词源
machete 砍刀，弯刀
来自西班牙语macho,锤子，铁锤，-ete,小词后缀，来自来自拉丁语mateola,锤子，铁锤，词源同mace.字面意思即小铁锤，但后用于指砍刀，弯刀。参照电影《弯刀》。
英文词源
- machete (n.)
- 1590s (in pseudo-Spanish form macheto), from Spanish machete, probably a diminutive of macho "sledge hammer," alteration of mazo "club," which is probably [Barnhart] a dialectal variant of maza "mallet," from Vulgar Latin *mattea "war club" (see mace (n.1)). An alternative explanation traces macho to Latin marculus "a small hammer," diminutive of marcus "hammer," from a base parallel to that of Latin malleus (see mallet).
