語源

註釋
Flies will never be popular creatures, in spite or because of their omnipresence. Two examples of the fly's influence on our lives can be found in the etymologies of the words mosquito and musket, both of which can be traced back to musca, the Latin word for fly. This Latin word became mosca in Spanish and Portuguese, Romance languages that developed from Vulgar Latin. Mosquito, the diminutive of mosca, was borrowed into English (first recorded around 1583) with the same sense 「mosquito」 that it had in Spanish and Portuguese. The Romance language French was the source of our word musket (first recorded around 1587), which came from French mousquet, but this word entered French from yet another Romance language, Italian. From the descendant of Latin musca, Italian mosca, was formed the diminutive moschetta with the senses 「bolt for a catapult」 and 「small artillery piece.」 From moschetta came moschetto, 「musket,」 the source of French mousquet. The use of moschetta, literally 「little fly,」 to mean 「bolt from a crossbow」 can be ascribed to the fact that both bolt and insect fly, buzz, and sting.
蒼蠅將永遠不會成為受人歡迎的動物，儘管或也許正因為它們無處不在。蒼蠅影響我們生活的兩個例子可在兩個單詞mosquito 和 musket 詞源中找到， 兩者都可追溯到musca， 拉丁文中是「蒼蠅」的意思。這個拉丁文單詞在西班牙語、葡萄牙語和其他由拉丁文演變而來的語言中變為mosca 。 Mosca 的小詞 mosquito 被借入英語中（大約於1583年首次出現）跟它在西班牙語和葡萄牙語中一樣，都表示「蚊子」。 從拉丁文演變來的法語是單詞musket （大約在1587年首次出現）的詞源， 這個詞來自一個法語詞mousquet ， 但這一詞仍然是從另一個由拉丁語演變而來的意大利語中借入法語的。起源於拉丁語musca 的意大利單詞 mosca 形成了一個小詞 moschetta ， 意思是「彈弓上使用的螺釘」和「小炮彈」。 從moschetta 中產生了 moschetto 意為「火槍」， 是法語詞mousquet 的詞源。 moschetta 的字面意思是指「小蒼蠅」， 用來比喻「弩上的弓箭」，這可以歸因於一個事實，那就是弓箭和蒼蠅都會飛，並且都能發出嗡嗡聲而且會刺傷人
