calf
calf: English has two distinct words calf, both of Germanic origin. Calf ‘young cow’ goes back to Old English cealf, descendant of a prehistoric West Germanic *kalbam, which also produced German kalb and Dutch kalf. Calf of the leg was borrowed from Old Norse kálfi, of unknown origin.
calf (n.1)
"young cow," Old English cealf (Anglian c?lf) "young cow," from Proto-Germanic *kalbam (cognates: Middle Dutch calf, Old Norse kalfr, German Kalb, Gothic kalbo), perhaps from PIE *gelb(h)-, from root *gel- "to swell," hence, "womb, fetus, young of an animal." Elliptical sense of "leather made from the skin of a calf" is from 1727. Used of icebergs that break off from glaciers from 1818.
calf (n.2)
fleshy part of the lower leg, early 14c., from Old Norse kalfi, source unknown; possibly from the same Germanic root as calf (n.1).
1. The snow, except where it drifted, was only calf-deep.
除了吹得堆积起来的地方,雪只有小腿肚深。

来自柯林斯例句

2. I rubbed the velvety grooves inside the calf's ears.
我摩挲着小牛耳朵里面柔软的凹槽。

来自柯林斯例句

3. Hillsden was complain-ing of cramp in his calf muscles.
