英语词汇stateroom的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

stateroom. One persistent old story has the term stateroom coined by an early owner of steamboats named Shreve, for whom the city of Shreveport, Louisiana was named. Shreve, according to this account, named luxurious cabins on his boats after states (e.g., the Texas Room) and they came to be known as staterooms. Stateroom is first recorded for the “sleeping apartment on a U.S. passenger steamer” in 1837 by Harriet Martineau, but there is no evidence yet of any Shreve with his finger in the pie. More likely this stateroom evolved from the stateroom meaning “a captain’s or officer’s quarters on board ship,” which is first recorded in Pepys’s Diary in 1660.
