词汇 | chintz |
词根词缀 | 词源: 1719, pl. of chint (1614), from Hindi chint, from Skt. chitra-s "clear, bright." The plural (the more common form of the word in commercial use) became regarded as singular by late 18c., and for unknown reason shifted -s to -z; perhaps after quartz. Disparaging sense (in form chintzy), from the commonness of the fabric, is first recorded 1851 in George Eliot. |
