英语词汇fontange的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

fontange. Through the ages women’s hair has been tortured into shapes of full sails, bird nests with fledglings in them, and even windmills, but no style has ever topped the fontange cre- ated by Louis XIV’s beautiful red-haired mistress. In the brief time that they were lovers “The Sun King” made Marie- Angelique de Scorraille de Roussilles, duchesse de Fontanges, a territory in France. She died all too soon in 1681, when only 20, but a year before her death the lovely young woman introduced what was probably the most extravagant, expensive hairdo in the history of coiffures. Called a fontange after her, this pile of style rose to heights of two feet and more above the wearer’s head, including feathers, bows, and a large assortment of jew- eled ornaments in the gummed-linen circular bands that held them in place. So great a nuisance did fontanges become that Louis XIV had to issue a royal decree abolishing them in 1699. To the duchess’s further shame, the hairdo was dubbed a “com- mode” in England, and fontange itself was adopted as a polite word for a commode, the piece of furniture having come into use in the late 17th century and serving as a toilet among other uses.
