tallow 动物油脂
来自古英语 talugh,动物油脂,来自 Proto-Germanic*talgo,流油,来自 PIE*del,流动。
- tallow (n.)
 - hard animal fat, used to make soap, candles, etc., mid-14c., talwgh, from a source (perhaps an unrecorded Old English word) cognate with Middle Low German talg "tallow," Middle Dutch talch, from Proto-Germanic *talga-, meaning perhaps originally "firm, compact material" (compare Gothic tulgus "firm, solid"). OED says related Scandinavian words probably are from continental Germanic.
