英语词汇dry goods的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

dry goods. Dry goods stores (“drapist’s shops” in England) may take their name from stores run by New England mer- chants, many of whom were shipowners and direct importers in Colonial times. Two chief imports were rum and bolts of cal- ico, which were traditionally carried on opposite sides of the store—a wet-goods side containing the rum and a dry-goods side holding the calico. “Wet goods” disappeared from the lan- guage, but stores that sell fabric are still called dry goods stores.
