助記提示
最初名叫Shikaakwa，來(lái)自當(dāng)?shù)貝?ài)荷華-伊利諾伊-印第安按-俄亥俄區(qū)域各部落（主要是?？怂共俊⑦~阿密部和薩烏克部等等）所使用的阿爾岡琴語(yǔ)，指的是美國(guó)中西部和加拿大東部特有的一種長(zhǎng)得像大蔥的植物。后來(lái)，法國(guó)探險(xiǎn)家羅伯特·德·拉塞爾騎士根據(jù)讀音將這里改寫(xiě)為Checagou，再后來(lái)轉(zhuǎn)寫(xiě)為Chicago。由于詞源是開(kāi)頭為Shi，因此Chicago的正確發(fā)音應(yīng)該是Shi（接近“施”）-cago而不是Chi（“吃”或者“七”）-cago。
英文詞源
- Chicago (n.)
- town founded in 1833, named from a Canadian French form of an Algonquian word, either Fox /sheka:ko:heki "place of the wild onion," or Ojibwa shika:konk "at the skunk place" (sometimes rendered "place of the bad smell"). The Ojibwa "skunk" word is distantly related to the New England Algonquian word that yielded Modern English skunk (n.). Related: Chicagoan.
