英语词汇blucher boots的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

blucher boots. This half boot has evolved into today’s basic, low-cut men’s shoes. Originally laced low boots or high shoes, bluchers were named for Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher (1742–1819), a Prussian field marshal who fought with Wel- lington against Napoleon at Waterloo. Field Marshal von Blücher did not design but sponsored the boots in 1810, con- sidering them better footwear for his troops. Another word commemorating him was the British slang expression Blucher, for a cab allowed to take passengers to London stations only af- ter all others had been hired—in allusion to the fact that the old man had arrived at Waterloo too late to be of much help!
