英语词汇windjammer的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	windjammer
词源	windjammer. Windjammer meant a “horn player,” then came to mean a “talkative person or windbag,” and finally, at the end of the 19th century, was the name for any ship with sails. It seems that windy defenders of sailing vessels at the beginning of the age of steamships boasted so much about the superiority of sail that they were called windjammers and their name soon became attached to the sailing ships they bragged about.
