英语词汇spaghetti的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

spaghetti; macaroni. Italian for “little strings, strands, or cords,” spaghetti was brought to Italy by Marco Polo in the early 14th century and so named at that time, though it is apparently not recorded in English until 1888, the editors of the O.E.D. much preferring macaroni (first recorded by Ben Jonson in 1599) and not including spaghetti until the first supplement to that masterful work. Macaroni, an Italian word of obscure ori- gins, has had its derogatory uses. As early as 1764 macaroni meant a fop or a dandy (as in the “Yankee Doodle” lyric), refer- ring to London’s Macaroni Club, where the members enjoyed foreign foods like macaroni. Then there is macaroni boats, a mostly British term for ocean liners carrying Italian immi- grants to America in the early 20th century. See macaronic verse; spic.
