hub 來源于德文 herd 爐
邊,爐膛,家庭,(興趣、活動、重要性等)中心.該字相當于英文的 hearth 爐邊,爐
膛,家庭.還可以參考法文 foyer 爐子,策源地,中心.這說明西方人習慣將爐子引申
為"家庭,中心".

有著落的字找到了老家.

英文詞源
- hearth
- hearth: [OE] Etymologically, hearth seems to mean ‘burning place’. It has been suggested that its West Germanic ancestor *kherthaz, which also produced German herd and Dutch haard, may be connected with Latin cremāre ‘burn’ (source of English cremate [19]) and Lithuanian kurti ‘heat’.
=> cremate - hearth (n.)
- Old English heore "hearth, fireplace, part of a floor on which a fire is made," also in transferred use "house, home, fireside," from West Germanic *hertho "burning place" (cognates: Old Saxon and Old Frisian herth, Middle Dutch hert, Dutch haard, German Herd "floor, ground, fireplace"), from PIE *kerta-, from root *ker- (4) "heat, fire" (see carbon). Hearth-rug is from 1824. Hearth-stone is from early 14c.
