英语词汇blanket的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	blanket
词源	blanket. There may have been a Thomas Blanket of Bristol, England who made blankets, setting up “the first loom for their manufacture in 1340.” But the word blanket comes from the Old French blankete, originally a “white wool cloth used for clothing” but meaning the blanket we know today by the mid- 14th century. This is not to say that a Thomas Blanket couldn’t have adopted the name blanket for his product and popularized the word. See wet blanket.
