词源词根法
来自PIE*kweit,照耀,白色,词源同white。用来指小麦。成熟的小麦是小麦色,可是磨成粉之后小麦粉是白色的,所以词源角度,wheat和white同根,wheat=that which is white。而与white相反的black,实际与阿尔卑斯山脉的Mont Blanc即勃朗峰(the white mountain)中的blanc同源。火焰正旺时是白热,燃烧后的灰烬确是黑色的。=来自PIE*kweit,照耀,白色,词源同white.用来指小麦。

小知识
Wheat is the grain most commonly used in things like bread, pasta, and cake. When wheat is ground, it becomes flour you can use for baking. Who wants cupcakes?
A field of wheat looks like tall, green grasses — the wheat turns golden-colored when it's ready to be harvested. More farmland is planted with wheat than any other crop, as it's a major worldwide source of carbohydrates. Some people are sensitive or allergic to the gluten in wheat, but most of us can safely eat and enjoy the many foods made from wheat. The Germanic source means “that which is white,” from a root meaning “to shine.”
