註釋
A lobster and a locust may share a common source for their name, that is, the Latin word locusta, which was used for the locust and also for a crustacean that was probably a kind of lobster. We can see that locusta would be the source of locust, but it looks like an unlikely candidate as the source of lobster. It is thought, however, that Old English loppestre, the ancestor of lobster, was formed from locusta and the suffix -estre used to make agent nouns (our -ster ). The change from Latin locusta to Old English loppestre may have been influenced by Old English loppe, meaning 「spider.」
龍蝦和蝗蟲的名字可能源於同一出處，即拉丁詞Locusta ， 它用於指蝗蟲，也用於表示可能是一種龍蝦的甲殼類動物。我們可以看到，Locusta 可能是 locusa 的來源， 但不像是lobster 的來源。 但是，lobster 在古英語裡的前身 loppestre 被認為是由 locusta 形成的， 後綴-estre 用於組成代理者的名詞（現在的 -soer ）。 從拉丁文locusta 到古英語 loppstre 的變化可能受古英語 loppe 的影響（意為「蜘蛛」）
