英语词汇full nelson的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	full nelson
词源	full nelson. The name for this wrestling hold didn’t come into use until the 19th century, when it was named either for some celebrated grappler who excelled at the pressure hold, or for Nelson, a town in Lancashire, England, once famous for its wrestling matches. The town of Nelson changed its name from Marston in the 19th century, calling itself after the popular Lord Nelson Inn there, which in turn honored England’s great naval hero.
