Pluto

• n. [空]冥王星; Pluto

ラテン語のPlutoから、ギリシャ語のPlouton、富の神、冥王星、PIE*pleu、流れから、語源的には流れ、艦隊と同じ。 語源的なつながりは、地球に含まれる金や宝石が冥王星の手にあることに由来する。後に冥王星を指すようになった。

Pluto (n.)

Roman god of the underworld, from Latin Pluto, Pluton, from Greek Plouton "god of wealth," literally "wealth, riches," probably originally "overflowing," from PIE *pleu- "to flow" (see pluvial). The alternative Greek name of Hades in his function as the god of wealth (precious metals and gems, coming from beneath the earth, form part of his realm). The planet (since downgraded) was discovered 1930 by C.W. Tombaugh; Minerva also was suggested as a name for it. The cartoon dog first appeared in Walt Disney's "Moose Hunt," released April 1931.
