英语词汇bangs的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

bangs. A bang-tailed horse is one whose tail is allowed to grow long, and then cut or “banged off ” horizontally to form an even tassel-like end. Such fashioning of horses’ tails was pop- ular in the late 19th century and when several bang-tailed horses won major races the style attracted wide attention. Ap- parently, American hairstylists or women themselves named the similar women’s hairstyle after the horse-tail style, adding bangs to the fashion lexicon. Bangtail, incidentally, was also a synonym for a prostitute in 18th- and 19th-century England.
