"Butterfly" is the English word for "蝴蝶" (hú dié). The word "butterfly" comes from the Old English word "buttorfleoge," which is a combination of "buttor," meaning "butter," and "fleoge," meaning "fly."

One possible reason for the name "butterfly" is that some species of butterfly have yellowish coloration, similar to that of butter.
Another possibility is the way certain species fly, which might have been compared with the way butter was scooped back then, by flapping.

Example Sentences:

The butterfly flapped its wings and flew away.
(那只蝴蝶扇动着翅膀飞走了。)
I love watching the colorful butterflies in the garden.
(我喜欢在花园里观看五颜六色的蝴蝶。)
The caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly.
(毛毛虫变成了一只漂亮的蝴蝶。)
