英语词汇muumuu的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	muumuu
词源	muumuu. Missionaries in Hawaii didn’t approve of nudity and provided local women with Mother Hubbard dresses to cover themselves. These shapeless dresses lacked a yoke, ap- pearing as if they were cut off at the neck, and the women called them muumuus, from the Hawaiian word for “cut off.” Adapted somewhat over the years, made more colorful for one thing, the muumuu became the typical Hawaiian dress and in time became popular worldwide as a loose-hanging housedress.
