adjective词源
late Middle English: from late Latin chymus, from Greek khūmos 'juice' （compare with CHYLE）. The Greek words khūlos and khūmos are from the same root and more or less identical in sense; however, khūlos came to be used for juice in a raw or natural state, khūmos for juice produced by decoction or digestion.
