词源：
oar (n.)”long wooden lever for propelling a boat,” Middle English or, from Old English ar, from Proto-Germanic *airo (source also of Old Norse ar, Danish aare, Swedish åra), a word of unknown origin. Apparently unrelated to the IE root that is the source of Latin remus “oar,” Greek eretēs “rower,” eretmos “oar,” English row (v.) and rudder. As “oar-like appendage of an animal,” 1580s.
A long oar, used occasionally to assist a vessel in a calm, is a
sweep, and is operated by two or more men. Small oars are
sculls; one rower wielding a pair, sitting midlength of the thwart. [“Knight’s American Mechanical Dictionary,” 1884]

oar (n.)“用于推动船只的长木杠杆”，中古英语或源自古英语 ar，源自原始日耳曼语 *airo（也源自古挪威语 ar、丹麦语 aare、瑞典语 åra），一个来源不明的词。显然与 IE 词根无关，IE 词根是拉丁语 remus“oar”、希腊语 eretēs“rower”、eretmos“oar”、英语 row (v.) 和 rudder 的来源。作为“动物的桨状附属物”，1580 年代。长桨，偶尔用来帮助船只保持平静，是扫桨，由两个或更多人操作。小桨是双桨；一名划手挥舞着一对，坐在横座的中间位置。 [《奈特美国机械词典》，1884 年] 相关条目及更多内容
