dolphin

dolphin:

[13] The ultimate source of

dolphin

is Greek

delphís

‘dolphin’, which some have linked with Greek

delphýs

‘womb’. From it was derived

delphīnion

, a name given to the plant larkspur on account of the dolphin-like shape of part of its flower, acquired by English via Latin as

delphinium

[17]. Latin took over Greek

delphís

as

delphīnus

, which passed into English along two channels.

The classical form was borrowed as

delfyn

or

delphin

, which did not survive the 17th century. But the Vulgar Latin form *

dalphīnus

progressed to Old French

daulphin

(ultimate source of English

dauphin

), which English acquired as

dalphyn

.

Dolphin

, first recorded in the 14th century, appears to be an English alteration of the form

da(u)lphin

.

=> dauphin, delphinium

dolphin (n.)

mid-14c., from Old French

daulphin

, from Medieval Latin

dolfinus

, from Latin

delphinus
