英语词汇belcher scarf的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Belcher scarf; Belcher ring. Jim or Jem Belcher, England’s version of Gentleman Jim Corbett, carried and made popular a large pocket handkerchief, its blue background spotted with large white spots with a small dark blue spot in the center of each. Such handkerchiefs or neckerchiefs, often more descrip- tively called “bird’s eye wipes,” were named after the boxer, as was the Belcher ring, a huge gold affair set with a large stone that was prominent even on Belcher’s massive dukes. Jim Belcher, the most celebrated boxer of his time, lost an eye in 1803, thereafter retiring from the ring and owning or operating a pub. He died in 1811, when only 30 years old. Belcher’s name, oddly enough, means “fine gentleman” in French. He bore a re- markable resemblance to Napoleon and was in fact billed as the “Napoleon of the Ring.”
