minus-squareBarqsHasBite@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 个月前 gargoyles, a name that came to Middle English from the Old French word gargoule. The stone beasts likely earned that name because of the water that gargled out of their throats and mouths; the word gargoule is imitative in origin. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gargoyle
