| 词汇 | bidet |
| 词源 | bidet. Ben Jonson is the first to record bidet, in 1630. A low basinlike bath “used especially in France for bathing one’s pri- vate parts,” the bidet is “bestridden, one squatting to wash.” Someone with a sense of humor named the bath after the small horse called a bidet that people had to ride with their legs drawn up to avoid dragging their feet on the ground. |
