dishyoudaoicibaDictYouDict[dish 词源字典]
dish: [OE] Like dais, desk, and disc, dish comes ultimately from Greek dískos ‘quoit’. As their diversity of form and meaning suggests, they were acquired at various times and by various routes. English got dish around 700 AD from Latin discus, in which the original meaning ‘quoit’ had been extended metaphorically to ‘tray, platter, dish’ on the basis of the semantic features ‘roundness’ and ‘flatness’.
