“And when you hear the strange guttural call of the Red Bellied Woodpecker, you wonder, who would respond to that weird sound?” — Joseph Palmer, The Brooklyn (New York) Eagle, 14 June 2021

Did You Know?
Though it is now used to describe many sounds or utterances which strike the listener as harsh or disagreeable, the adjective guttural was originally applied only to sounds and utterances produced in the throat. This is reflected in the word’s Latin root—guttur, meaning “throat.” Despite the similarity in sound, guttural is not related to the English word gutter, which comes (by way of Anglo-French) from Latin gutta, meaning “drop.”
虽然现在它被用来描述许多让听者觉得刺耳或令人不愉快的声音或话语，但形容词guttural 最初仅适用于喉咙中产生的声音和话语。 这反映在这个词的拉丁词根——guttur，意思是“throat「喉咙」”。 尽管发音相似，guttural 与英语单词 gutter 无关，后者（通过Anglo-French）来自拉丁语 gutta，意思是“drop「下降」”。
