英语词汇faubourg的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	faubourg
词源	faubourg. A synonym for suburb. This French word was bor- rowed and used in Scotland and England as early as the 15th century. Now, however, suburb is the preferred word almost ev- erywhere but in New Orleans, a city whose French heritage has encouraged its use since the early 19th century. Though the word is obsolete today in the sense of a suburb, it is still heard in the names of New Orleans quarters or districts such as Fau- bourg Sainte Marie.
