中文词源
spoke 辐条，轮辐
来自古英语 spaca,辐条，轮辐，来自 Proto-Germanic*spaikon,杆，可能来自 PIE*spei,尖刺， 词源同 spike,spire,spit.
英文词源
- spoke
- spoke: [OE] Like its relatives German speiche and Dutch speek, spoke goes back to prehistoric Germanic *spaikōn. This was derived from the base *spaik-, *speik-, which also produced English spike.
=> spike - spoke (n.)
- "radius of a wheel," Old English spaca "spoke of a wheel, radius," related to spicing "large nail," from Proto-Germanic *spaikon (cognates: Old Saxon speca, Old Frisian spake, Dutch spaak, Old High German speicha, German speiche "spoke"), of uncertain origin, probably from PIE *spei- "sharp point" (see spike (n.1)).
