英语词汇borax的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	borax
词源	borax. The real source for the term borax, for “cheap fur- niture, or any cheap and inferior merchandise,” is probably not a Yiddish expression used by Jewish immigrants on New York’s Lower East Side in the late 19th century, as many sources con- tend, but the premiums for cheap furniture offered by early manufacturers of borax soap.
