canyon

• n. 峡谷

来自cane, 芦苇。-on,大词后缀。因狭谷形如大芦苇而得名。

canyon (n.)

"narrow valley between cliffs," 1834, from Mexican Spanish cañon, extended sense of Spanish cañon "a pipe, tube; deep hollow, gorge," augmentative of cano "a tube," from Latin canna "reed" (see cane (n.)). But earlier spelling callon (1560s) might suggest a source in calle "street."
