英语词汇cowboy boots的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

cowboy boots; cowboy hats; cowboy shirts. Cowboys never called them this, at least not until the term was invented in the East in about 1912. Cowboys just called them boots or cowhides until then. In about 1860, however, cowboys did begin to wear boots with higher heels and pointed toes that better fit the stir- rups. Edna Ferber describes a fancy pair in Cimarron (1930): “The gay tops were of shiny leather, and alternating around them was the figure of a dancing girl with flaring skirts, and a poker hand of cards which she learned was a royal flush, all handsomely embossed on the patent leather cuffs of the boots.” Similarly, cowboys simply called their hats hats, and there were many kinds of them, all with wide brims to keep the weather off their faces. Cowboy hat was coined in the East in about 1900. Real cowboys didn’t wear fancy bright-colored shirts un- til recently, either; the term cowboy shirt isn’t recorded until about 1930 when such shirts were popularized by cowboy movie star Tom Mix.
