词汇	bandanna
词源	bandanna. A Hindu method of dyeing called bāndhnu con- sisted of knotting pieces of silk and dipping them in dyes so that parts of the silk would retain their original color. The Por- tuguese, who reached India during the 16th century, brought clothes dyed in this manner back to Europe, where the Hindi bāndhnu, corrupted to bandanna, soon came to mean a large silk handkerchief, especially one with a background of red with white spots.
