英语词汇bonnet squash的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

bonnet squash. This common vegetable sponge (Luffa cylin- drica) was so named in the American South because women made bonnets out of its fibrous matter. Wrote Joel Chandler Harris in On the Plantation (1892): “The girls made their hats of rye and wheat straw, and some very pretty bonnets were made of the fibrous substance that grew in the vegetable patch known as the bonnet squash.” These inedible squashes are also called “dishcloth gourds” and “loofah.” They are widely sold as sponges.
