trousers的词源
英文词源
- trousers
- trousers: [17] Trousers is a Gaelic contribution to English vocabulary. Irish trius and Scots Gaelic triubhas (singular nouns) denote ‘closefitting shorts’. They were borrowed into English in the 16th century as trouse or trews. The latter form has survived intact, but trouse, through the influence of drawers, was expanded into trousers.
=> trews - trousers (n.)
- "garment for men, covering the lower body and each leg separately," 1610s, earlier trouzes (1580s), extended from trouse (1570s), with plural ending typical of things in pairs, from Gaelic or Middle Irish triubhas "close-fitting shorts," of uncertain origin. Early recorded use of the word indicates the garment was regarded as Celtic: "A jellous wife was like an Irish trouze, alwayes close to a mans tayle" [1630]. The unexplained intrusive second -r- is perhaps by influence of drawers or other words in pairs ending in -ers.
中文词源
trousers一词来源于爱尔兰语truibhas，原指粗俗的“套裤”，不入大雅之堂的。
有一个故事讲，一次，英国将军威灵顿公爵（the Duke of Wellington， 1769—1852）去参加一个聚会，走到门口被打发了回去，原来他的马裤和丝袜外罩了一条黑色的套裤。在那个时代，一个贵族骑马出门，要在那套比较正规的衣服外面罩上一条套裤，以保持干净整洁，但要出席上流人物聚会的场面，就得把套裤脱掉方可入内。
