短释义：
The word artery comes from the Greek arteria, which means “windpipe.” In ancient times, an artery was thought to be a kind of air duct, because after someone dies, their arteries are empty of blood. Today we know that arteries (and veins) perform a vital job, constantly moving blood around our bodies. Systems of rivers or roads with networks and branches that resemble the human circulatory system can also be called arteries.
动脉是将血液从心脏输送出去的主要血管。为了心脏健康，请保持动脉清洁！

动脉这个词来自希腊语arteria，意思是“气管”。在古代，动脉被认为是一种气管，因为人死后，动脉中就没有血液了。今天，我们知道动脉（和静脉）发挥着至关重要的作用，不断地在我们的身体周围输送血液。具有类似于人体循环系统的网络和分支的河流或道路系统也可以称为动脉。

词源：
artery(n.)late 14c., “an arterial blood vessel,” from Anglo-French arterie, Old French artaire (13c.; Modern French artère), and directly from Latin arteria, from Greek arteria “windpipe,” also “an artery,” as distinct from a vein; related to aeirein “to raise” (see aorta).
They were regarded by the ancients as air ducts because the arteries do not contain blood after death, and 14c.-16c. artery in English also could mean “trachea, windpipe.” Medieval writers, based on Galen, generally took them as a separate blood system for the “vital spirits.” The word is used in reference to artery-like systems of major rivers from 1805; of railways from 1844.also from late 14c.
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
arterial(n.)late 14c.，“动脉血管”，源自英法 arterie，古法语 artaire（13c.；现代法语 artère），以及直接源自拉丁语 arteria，源自希腊语 arteria“气管”，也是“动脉”，与静脉不同；与 aeirein “升高”相关（参见主动脉）。它们被古人视为空气管道，因为死后动脉中不含有血液，14c.-16c。英语中的动脉也可以表示“气管、气管”。以盖伦为基础的中世纪作家通常将它们视为“生命之灵”的独立血液系统。该词自 1805 年起用于指代主要河流的动脉状系统； 1844 年起的铁路。也从 14 世纪末开始。
