英语词汇baedeker的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Baedeker; Fielding guide. A Baedeker once referred to a specific guidebook published by the German printer and book- seller Karl Baedeker (1801–59), but the word is now used loosely to mean any travel guide. Baedeker’s guides were so au- thoritative and comprehensive that they were eventually print- ed in numerous languages and became almost a necessity for travelers of the time. Similar to the contemporary Fielding guides, named for travel writer Temple Hornaday Fielding (b. 1914), the books covered every aspect of travel, from histor- ic questions to cuisine, and started the practice of rating places with one to four stars. Baedeker became synonymous for an ex- haustive guide, the word adopted in many countries.
