14世纪中叶, salamandre,“传说中生活在火中的类似蜥蜴的生物”,源自古法语 salamandre,“传说中的火兽”,也指“蟋蟀”(12世纪),源自拉丁语 salamandra,源自希腊语 salamandra,一种被认为可以扑灭火焰的蜥蜴,这个词可能源自东方,或者根据 Beekes 的说法,源自前希腊语。
在动物学中,这个词用于指尾巴的两栖动物(通常称为 eft 或 newt,但这些词有时仅用于水蜥蜴),记录于17世纪10年代。亚里士多德,尤其是普林尼,对一种在火中生存并扑灭火焰的动物的虚构负有责任。这种蜥蜴生活在潮湿的木头中,当受到威胁时会分泌一种乳状物质,但对于这个神话并没有明显的自然解释。这个词也被用作火元素的一种想象中的名称(1680年代)。
在技术上,也扩展到与火有关的物品或在非常炎热时使用的物品(1660年代)。18世纪还用于指“在诱惑中保持贞洁的女人”(Addison 之后),以及“在战斗中冒着枪火的士兵”。salamander-stove(1842)是一种用于加热房间的小型便携式炉子。rub someone a salamander 是19世纪德国学生的饮酒祝酒词(einem einen salamander reiben)的一种形式。
相关形容词: Salamandrous(1711); salamandrine(1712); salamandroid(1854); salamandry(约1600年)。
