🇬🇧 /ˈkɪs həɹ‿ɪn ðə ˈbʌt(ə)ɹi/
kiss-her-in-the-buttery 是一种对三色堇（野生堇菜）的诙谐俗称，源自花瓣像两个人接吻的联想。
💡 记忆钩子
把三色堇想成两张半藏在花瓣里的脸正在接吻；花朵的这个形象催生了 kiss-her-in-the-buttery 这个俏皮而很长的名称。
📝 学习建议
- 这是植物的旧式或地方性俗称，不要按字面理解为“在食品储藏室里吻她”。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
rare 三色堇的俗称📖 指三色堇，即一种欧洲野生花卉；这个名称来自人们把它的花瓣想象成两个人接吻的脸。💡 可用“某地把这种花称为 kiss-her-in-the-buttery”或“the flower called kiss-her-in-the-buttery”这样的结构介绍它。该词诙谐、古旧而且非常少见，不适合普通口语中指称三色堇。不要把它当成描述接吻动作的短语，也不要根据字面把 buttery 理解成“黄油味的”。no-plural
🌳 词源
由 kiss、her、in、the、buttery 组合而成，指花瓣被说成像两个接吻的人；buttery 在这里原指储藏食物或饮料的房间，并非单纯指黄油。
From kiss + her + in + the + buttery (“room for keeping food or beverages, storeroom”), from the way the flower’s petals are said to resemble the faces of two people kissing: see the 1891 and 2010 quotations. Compare other vernacular names for the wild pansy like come-and-cuddle-me, heart’s delight, Jack-jump-up-and-kiss-me, kiss-me-at-the-gate, love-in-idleness, and tickle-my-fancy. (The word buttery is etymologically unrelated to butter, though the latter may have influenced the shift in meaning from “room for keeping alcoholic beverages” to “room for keeping food or beverages”.)
