词源词根法
可能来自某非洲语。多数辞书认为,意为“香蕉”的banana一词源于某一非洲语言,西班牙语和葡萄牙话首先使用,而后被吸收到英语中来。但有的辞书,如The Facts on File Enyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins却认为,它出自意为“手指”的阿拉伯语单词banana,而一串香蕉(a hand of bananas)也确实有点像一排张开的手指。

小知识
A banana is a curved, yellow fruit with a thick skin and soft sweet flesh. If you eat a banana every day for breakfast, your roommate might nickname you “the monkey.”
A banana is a tropical fruit that's quite popular all over the world. It grows in bunches on a banana tree. To “go bananas” is a slangy way of saying “go crazy” or act ridiculous, and if someone refers to the “top banana,” they mean the most important person in a particular group. The origin of banana isn't certain, but it's thought that it was borrowed by the Spanish or Portuguese from an African word, probably the Wolof word banana.
