註釋
In The Travailes of an Englishman, published in 1568, Job Hortop says that 「in this river we killed a monstrous Lagarto or Crocodile.」 This killing gives rise to the first recorded instance of alligator in English, obviously in a different form from the one familiar to modern speakers. Alligator, which comes to us from Spanish el lagarto, 「the lizard,」 was modified in pronunciation and form in several ways before taking on the form alligator. Such changes, referred to by linguists as taboo deformation, are not uncommon in a name for something that is feared and include, for example, the change in sequence of the r and t that occurred between el lagarto and alligator. An interesting parallel case is crocodile, which appears in Spanish, for example, as cocodrilo, with a similar difference in the sequence of the r. The earliest recorded form of alligator that is similar to ours appears in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (First Folio, 1623): 「In his needie shop a tortoyrs hung,/An Allegater stuft.」
在出版於1568年的英國人的勞作 一書中， 約伯·霍特普說「在這條河裡我們殺死過一隻巨大的蜥蜴或鱷魚。」這次捕殺導致alligator 作為首次載入英語的實例， 和現代人所熟悉的詞形明顯不同。Alligator 來源於西班牙語 ellagarto， 意思是「蜥蜴，」 在採用alligator 這個詞之前，其發音和詞形經過了好幾種變化。 這些變化，語言學家們稱作禁忌變形，在人們懼怕的某種事物的名稱裡是常見的，而且還包括r 和 t 在以下兩個單詞 ellagarto 和 alligator 間依次的變化。 一個同樣有趣的例子是crocodile， 在西班牙語裡是cocodrilo， 區別在於排列順序不同的 r 上。 最早記載的alligator 其詞形接近我們所使用的詞形，出現於莎士比亞的 羅密歐與朱麗葉 中，（1623年第一版對開本）： 「在他的日用品店中掛著一個玩具，一隻布做的鱷魚。」
