英语词汇yarmulke的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

yarmulke. Yarmulke, the skullcap worn by Jewish males, is said by most dictionaries to be a Yiddish word that derives from a Tartar word, which in turn comes from the Polish word for skullcap. However, in an article published in the Hebrew Union College Annual (V.26, 1955) Dr. W. Gunther Plaut con- cludes that yarmulke derives ultimately “from the Latin almucia or armucella, the amice (vestment) worn by the priest.” The theory that yarmulke derives from a Hebrew word meaning “awe of the king” is a nice story but only folklore. The skullcap is worn, of course, as a sign of respect before God, this a cus- tom not only among Jews but practiced by many people of the East. Hebrew scholar Professor Howard Marblestone advises me that the yarmulke etymology he finds most convincing is found in a Hebrew book, The Origin of Hebrew Words by Abra- ham Stahl (Tel Aviv, 1999), which he translates here: “The word originates in the Turkish yagmurluk, ‘rain coat,’ from yagmur, “rain,” with the suffix luk, indicating pertaining to. It passed via the Balkans to the Slavic and Romance languages in various senses, such as coat or hat. The Jews took it over, apparently from Ukrainian or White Russian, and applied it to the cover- ing they wear on their heads.”
