Smith was the general term for a worker in metals, and wright for one who worked in wood, and other materials. Hence, in the later English period, smith (which, in Anglo-Saxon, when used without any characteristic addition, was understood as applying more particularly to the worker in iron,) became the particular name of a blacksmith, and wright of a carpenter, as it is still in Scotland. [Thomas Wright, "Anglo-Saxon and Old English Vocabularies," 1884]
Smith 是金属工人的通用术语, wright 是木工和其他材料的工人。因此,在后期的英语时期, smith(在盎格鲁-撒克逊语中,当没有任何特定的补充时,特别适用于铁匠)成为铁匠的特定名称, wright 成为木匠的名称,如今在苏格兰仍然如此。[托马斯·赖特,《盎格鲁-撒克逊语和古英语词汇》,1884年]
