词源

Unadapted borrowing from Dutch curaçao, named for the island Curaçao in the Dutch Antilles, ultimately probably a Portuguese transcription of a Lokono endonym but literally equivalent to Portuguese curação (“cure, healing”), from Latin cūrātiōnem (“cure”), from cūrō (“to cure”) + -ātiō (“-ation”, suffix forming abstract nouns), from cūra (“attention, care”) + -āre (verb-forming suffix), q.v.
