词源
Old English frogga, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch vors and German Frosch. Used as a general term of abuse in Middle English, the term was applied specifically to the Dutch in the 17th cent.; its application to the French （late 18th cent.） is partly alliterative, partly from the reputation of the French for eating frogs' legs.
