中文詞源
SOS 求救信號國際摩斯密碼代號，因其識別性強易發送而被選用，其代號為（? ? ? — — — ? ? ?）。 同時，俗詞源解讀為“save our ship or save our souls”，某種程度上加強了該信號的流傳度。
英文詞源
- SOS
- 1910, from International Morse code letters, chosen arbitrarily as being easy to transmit and difficult to mistake. Not an initialism (acronym) for "save our ship" or anything else. Won out over alternative suggestion C.Q.D., which is said to mean "come quickly, distress," or "CQ," general call for alerting other ships that a message follows, and "D" for danger. SOS is the telegraphic distress signal only; the oral equivalent is mayday.
