| 词汇 | put on the gloves |
| 词源 | put on the gloves. Since about 1847 to put on the gloves has meant to fight, in a ring or elsewhere, although boxing gloves only became mandatory under the Queensberry rules. Boxing gloves were used in England as early as 1734 but weren’t com- monly called by that name until about 1875; prior to that, they were called mufflers, gloves, and padded mittens.
