英文詞源
- china (n.)
- "porcelain imported from China," 1570s, short for Chinaware, China dishes, etc.; from the country name (see China).
- China (n.)
- Asian country name, 1550s, of uncertain origin, probably ultimately from Sanskrit Cina-s "the Chinese" (earliest European usage is in Italian, by Marco Polo), perhaps from Qin dynasty, which ruled 3c.
