英语词汇blazer的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	blazer
词源	blazer. The jacket called the blazer may take its name from the “somewhat striking blue-and-white-striped jerseys” that the captain of Britain’s H.M.S. Blazer ordered his crew to wear in the 19th century. But others say the jackets were called blaz- ers because they were the “brightest possible blazing scarlet.” According to this theory the jackets were first worn by the crew of the Lady Margaret, St. John’s College, Cambridge, Boat Club in 1889.
