英语词汇yashmak的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

yashmak. In case you’ve been looking for the word for the white or black double veil used to cover the whole face of Mus- lim women in public, or to hang just below their eyes, this is that word. Yashmak, from the Arabic yashmaq, for the same, isn’t attested to in English until 1844. The first English writer to record the word noted that “the yashmak . . . is not a mere semi-transparent veil, but rather a good substantial petticoat applied to the face.” Veil, first recorded in 1276, comes ulti- mately from the Latin velum for “covering.”
