英文词源
bomb
**bomb: **[17] _Bomb _is ultimately of onomatopoeic origin, and can probably be traced back to Greek bómbos, a word for a booming or buzzing sound. This passed into Latin as bombus, the probable source of Italian bomba, which acquired more explosive connotations. English got the word via French bombe. The derivative _bombard _preceded _bomb _into English, in the 15th century.
