註釋
The words referring to the animal chameleon and the plant chamomile are related etymologically by a reference to the place one would expect to find them, that is, on the ground. The first part of both words goes back to the Greek form khamai, meaning 「on the ground.」 What is found on the ground in each case is quite different, of course. The khamaile?n is a 「lion [ le?n ] on the ground,」 a term translating the Akkadian phrase n?. The khamaim?n is 「an apple [ m?n ] on the ground,」 so named because the blossoms of at least one variety of this creeping herb have an applelike scent. Both words are first found in Middle English, chameleon in a work composed before 1382 and chamomile in a work written in 1373.
指動物變色蜥蜴和植物春黃菊的詞，在詞源上通過人們預期可找到它們的地點（即地面上）而相關聯。這兩個詞的前一部分都可追溯到希臘形式khamai 意思為「在地面上。」 當然，兩種情形下在地面上發現的東西是非常不同的。[x]Khamaileon 是指「地面上的獅子 [ leon ]」， 即阿卡得短語nes qaqqari 翻譯過來的詞語。 [x]Khamaimelon 是指「地面上的蘋果 melon 」， 之所以這麼命名是因為至少有一類這種蔓生草本植物所開的花具有類似蘋果的氣味。兩個詞最初出現在中古英語裡面，chameleon 出現於1382年前的一部作品， [x]chamomile 出現於1373年的一部作品裡
