摘要：

“苜蓿”一词随着苜蓿在汉代传入我国而出现，属于西域外来词。本文采用植物考据学原理与方法，对“苜蓿”词源、苜蓿名称的演变和苜蓿异名的产生等进行了考释。到目前为止，对我国“苜蓿”词源的认识还不统一，主要有3种观点：一是“苜蓿”源自伊朗语buksuk、buxsux或buxsuk；二是“苜蓿”是梵语māksika一词的音译；三是“苜蓿”为希腊语Medikai之音译。我国多数学者认可第一种观点。由于“苜蓿”为音译词，在苜蓿进入我国初期，出现了许多同音异字，诸如目宿、牧宿、蓿等苜蓿的不同写法，一直到唐代才出现了今天使用的苜蓿专用名词。此外，由于各地方言乃至文化的差异，在古代苜蓿还有许多别名，如怀风、风光、连枝草，塞鼻力迦、光风草和灰粟等。
