leotard的词源

英文词源

leotard: leotard: [19] The leotard commemorates the French trapeze artist Jules Léotard (1830–70), who wore such a garment when he was performing. He was one of the foremost circus acrobats of his day, and a pioneer of aerial stunts: he performed the first mid-air somersault, and invented the ‘flying trapeze’ (he became known as the ‘Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze’, from George Leybourne’s song (1860) of that name), but fate has decreed that his name should be passed down to posterity in the form of a one-piece exercise garment.
leotard (n.): 1881, leotards, named for Jules Léotard (1830-1870), popular French trapeze artist, who performed in such a garment.

来自法国19世纪杂技演员Jules Leotard, 因其表演时的穿着而得名，Leotard为方便杂技表演设计了这种服装。
