• n. [鳥] 鷓鴣；松雞
• n. (Partridge)人名；(英)帕特里奇

來自古法語pertis,改寫自perdis,來自希臘語perdix,山鶉，來自PIE*perd,放屁聲，嗡嗡聲，擬聲詞。因這種鳥扇動翅膀時發(fā)出的嗡嗡的聲音而得名，拼寫受ridge或-dge影響俗化。

partridge (n.)

late 12c., from Old French pertis, alteration of perdis (perhaps influenced by fem. suffix -tris), from Latin perdicem (nominative perdix) "plover, lapwing," from Greek perdix, the Greek partridge, probably related to perdesthai "to break wind," in reference to the whirring noise of the bird's wings, from PIE imitative base *perd- "to break wind" (cognates: Sanskrit pardate "breaks wind," Lithuanian perdzu, Russian perdet, Old High German ferzan, Old Norse freta, Middle English farten).
