| 词汇 | haberdasher |
| 词源 | haberdasher. A 17th-century source derives haberdasher, a dealer in men’s furnishings such as shirts and ties, from the German Hab’ Ihr das?, “Have you that?,” which such shopkeep- ers asked when waiting on a customer. Another possibility is the Old French hapirtus, “a fur dealer,” for haberdashers did originally carry fur hats along with other small wares and no- tions. We only know surely that haberdasher has been part of the language for almost seven centuries. |
