词源记忆

【中文词源】：

可能来自中古低地德语 splinte,薄铁板，铁片，来自 PIE*splei,分开，来自 PIE*spel,分开，劈开，词源同 spill,split,flint.原指盔甲的交叠的铁片，后引申词义夹板。

【英语词源】：

c. 1300, "overlapping plate or strip in armor" (made of metal splints), probably from Middle Low German splinte, splente "thin piece of iron," related to Middle Dutch splinte "splint," probably literally "thin piece cut off," and from a Germanic offshoot of PIE *(s)plei- "to split, splice" (see flint). Cognate with Danish splint "splinter," Swedish splint "wooden peg, wedge." Meaning "slender, flexible slip of wood" is recorded from early 14c.; specific surgical sense is attested from c. 1400.
