词源

From Scottish Gaelic Uibhist, of uncertain but possibly Old Norse origin; the final syllable was at the very least influenced by Old Norse vist (“abode”). Coates (2006) suggested possible derivation from the Proto-Semitic equivalents of Hebrew אי (“island”) + בושם (“balsam, fragrance, perfume”); compare English Ibiza.
