英语词汇salmagundi的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

salmagundi. The origin of the word is really unknown. A sal- magundi, “any mixture or miscellany,” began as a mishmash of minced veal, chicken, or turkey, anchovies or pickled herring, and onions served with lemon juice and oil. One theory has it that the word comes from salame condite, Italian for “pickled meat”; another that it derives from the name of a lady-in- waiting to Marie de’ Medici, wife of France’s Henri IV. Marie is supposed to have invented the eclectic dish, or made it de ri- gueur at least, and named it after Madame or Mademoiselle Salmagundi, her lady-in-waiting. Later the word was used by Washington Irving for a series of 20 periodical pamphlets that he and two other writers published (1807–08). Salmagundi; or the Whim-Whams and Opinions of Launcelot Langstaff, Esq. and others, consisted of satirical essays and poems on New York society and politics, generally satirizing “mobocratic” and “Logocratic” Jeffersonian democracy.
