Historically, many Dutch military terms have been influential and adopted as loanwords by many other languages all over the world. Although most of these words are connected to naval activities, some (such as "forlorn hope") relate to land warfare. Some Dutch naval terms adopted by the various languages include: Other words (in English) include: * Avast, from ''hou vast'', meaning ''hold fast''. * Drill, from the verb '' drillen'', to train/instruct * Freebooter (Pirate), from ''vrijbuiter''. * Yacht, from ''jacht'' meaning ''hunt'' * Pump, from ''pomp''. * Sloop, from ''sloep''. * Skipper, from ''schipper'' meaning someone who ships. * Keel, from ''kiel'' * Maelstrom, from ''maalstroom'' meaning "strong current" (borrowed via a Nordic language) * Forlorn hope, from ''verloren hoop'' "lost hope". * Cruiser, from the verb '' to cruise'' from Dutch ''doorkruisen'' meaning to sail across or go through. * Brandy, from Dutch ''brandewijn'', distilled wine. And many more. ==Sources== * http://www.etymonline.com/ 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dutch linguistic influence on naval terms」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
