英语词汇d’orsay pump的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

d’Orsay pump; dossy; Quai d’Orsay. The last of the dan- dies, count d’Orsay, Alfred-Guillaume Gabriel (1801–52), de- signed the innovative d’Orsay pump that became the model for women’s footwear. Like his contemporary Beau Brummel, d’Orsay, the son of a distinguished French general, was an ar- biter elegantarium of English society, and the slang term dossy, for “elegant or smart,” may also derive from his name. The man’s shoe he devised in 1838 fit more snugly than any pump before it, due to its low-cut sides and V-shaped top, and was soon adopted by women. D’Orsay, an ex-soldier who came to London from France in 1821, won fame as a painter, sculptor, diarist, and wit, being “the most perfect gentleman of his day.” Named for d’Orsay’s famous father is the Quai d’Orsay—that quay along the south bank of the Seine in Paris that has be- come synonymous with the French Foreign Office, Depart- ment of Foreign Affairs, and other government offices located there.
