名词 (n.) 花药;花粉囊。植物雄蕊顶端产生和释放花粉的部分。
/n.θr/
The anther of the flower releases pollen when it is mature.
花朵的花药在成熟时会释放花粉。
Under the microscope, students observed that the anther had split open along its length, exposing thousands of tiny pollen grains to the surrounding air.
在显微镜下,学生们观察到花药沿纵向裂开,将成千上万的微小花粉粒暴露在周围的空气中。
源自拉丁语 anthera,意为"从花中提取的药物",再往前追溯到希腊语 anthēra(νθηρ),来自 anthos(νθο),意为"花"。该词最初指与花相关的物质,后来在植物学中专指雄蕊顶端产生花粉的结构。
