Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English loppestere, lopster, from Old English loppestre, lopustre, lopystre, of origin. Some believe it to be a corruption of Latin lō̆custa (grasshopper, locust) + the Old English - feminine agent suffix -estre. In Latin, the phrase lō̆custa marīna (literally "sea-grasshopper") signified a type of crustacean (shrimp or lobster).
