英语词汇mashie的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	mashie
词源	mashie. Golf ’s number 5 iron may take its (now rarely heard) name from the way unskilled golfers “mashed” a ball with it, or it may have resembled some Scottish kitchen utensil used to mash potatoes when the club was introduced in 1888. But more likely it derives from the French word for club, massue.
