英语词汇hackle的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	hackle
词源	hackle. A hackle was originally an instrument used to work flax. Then the word was applied to the raised feathers of angry cock-fighting fowls, which looked like they had been rumpled with a hackle, this usage dating back to at least 1450. Some two centuries later (no one is sure exactly when), the first artificial fishing lures used two bright hackles from a gamecock as the legs of the artificial flies to be tied to the hook. Soon after hackle became the name of the artificial lure itself.
