vignette的词源
英文词源
- vignette
- vignette: [18] A vignette is etymologically a picture with a border of ‘vine’ tendrils, leaves, etc round it. The word comes from Old French vignette, a diminutive form of vigne ‘vine’ (source of English vine and related to English wine). It was originally applied to decorations in medieval manuscripts, but it was then transferred to the border around pictures, and finally to the pictures themselves. The conscious link with ‘vines’ now became broken, and in the 19th century the term moved on to a ‘head-andshoulders photograph’ and (metaphorically) a ‘short verbal description’.
=> vine, wine - vignette (n.)
- 1751, "decorative design," originally a design in the form of vine tendrils around the borders of a book page, especially a picture page, from French vignette, from Old French diminutive of vigne "vineyard" (see vine). Sense transferred from the border to the picture itself, then (1853) to a type of small photographic portrait with blurred edges very popular mid-19c. Meaning "literary sketch" is first recorded 1880, probably from the photographic sense.

vignette（装饰图案）：用作装饰花边的葡萄卷须
法国是盛产葡萄酒的国家，有很多大型葡萄酒庄园。在法国建筑和日常摆设中，形如葡萄卷须的装饰花边是日常装饰中经常出现的图案，这跟我们中国人日常装饰中的“祥云”、“中国结”、“玄关”差不多。这种形如葡萄卷须的装饰花边在法语中就叫做vignette，是vigne（葡萄园）的指小形式。英语单词vignette就来源于此，表示装饰图案、小插图，还有小品文，小插曲的意思。
