| 词汇 | rocking chair |
| 词源 | rocking chair. All that is certain about the rocking chair is that the name for it is first recorded in print in about 1760. It may have been invented at that time, perhaps based upon a rocking cradle, but some native genius may have come up with the idea much earlier. Several historians think that Benjamin Franklin may have been that inventor. |
