英文詞源
- trappings
- trappings: [14] Trappings are etymologically ‘drapery’. The word was adapted from Anglo- Norman *trapour, a variant of Old French drapure; and this in turn was a derivative of drap ‘cloth’, source of English drape, drapery, etc. It was originally used in English for an ‘ornamental covering for a horse’, and its more general modern meaning did not emerge until the 16th century.
=> drape, drapery - trappings (n.)
- late 14c., "horse-cloth," from Middle English trappe "ornamental cloth for a horse" (c. 1300), later "personal effects" (mid-15c.), alteration of Middle French drap "cloth" (see drape (n.)).
