Surprisingly,"jack fruit"isn't a person's name at all.The fruit's name originally comes from the southern Indian word chakka pazham,with India thought to be the fruit's place of origin.Por- tuguese explorers who journeyed to this region went on to call it jack,which leads us to the cur- rent English name of jack fruit,according to National Public Radio(NPR).Unfortunately,no one called Jack has been proven to be involved at any point in this process. There is another food,however,that was directly named after a person-the sandwich.In the 18th century,playing card games late into the night became fashionable in British high socie- ty.John Montagu,the 4h Earl of Sandwich,started the habit of ordering pieces of cold beef be- tween two pieces of bread in order to get a late-night snack without having to leave the gaming table or use a knife and fork. This newly-created snack kept hands clean so card players could continue on without dirt- ying their cards.The midnight snack quickly became popular among everyday people,and before long everyone was making their own sandwiches.That is how the sandwich was invented and got its name. Away from the world of food,there are more examples of names inspired by people.Long johns,the warm trousers that keep us warm in winter,are said to have been named after the US boxer John L.Sullivan who took to wearing a similar type of garment in the ring ) There are many other interesting etymologies()in the English language like these.So the next time you find an interesting name,why not explore its history too? 一41 晨读晚练 1.What does the underlined word "overwhelmed"in the first paragraph probably mean?
