英语词汇lavaliere的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

lavaliere. Louis XIV, the Sun King, had a voracious appetite for women as well as food. Françoise-Louise de La Baume Le Blanc, whom he later made Madame la duchesse de La Vallière, was only his first maîtresse en titre, or official mistress to the king. Louise, an innocent girl, never asked for anything, and it was only toward the end of their affair in 1667 that Louis made her a duchess, granting her the estate of Vaujours. Long before that she had become famous throughout Europe for her great beauty and the glamorous fashions she introduced. One of these, called the lavallière in her honor, was the ornamental jeweled pendant, usually worn on a chain around the neck, that we know as the lavaliere. Today the small TV microphone that hangs on a cord from the neck is also called a lavaliere, taking its name from the pendant necklace that honors the famous beauty.
