词源

From Latin tropae(us) (“turning back”, “returning”, adjective) + -an; from the Plinian phrase ventī tropaeī (“sea-breezes”, literally “winds blowing from the sea towards the land”), from Ancient Greek τροπαῖος (tropaîos, adjective) (also used in the noun phrase πνοή τροπαία (pnoḗ tropaía, “an alternating wind, blowing back from sea to land”)), from τρόπος (trópos, “turning”).
