| 词汇 | seersucker |
| 词源 | seersucker. No “seer” or “sucker” is behind this one. The Per- sian shīr o shakkar, literally “milk and sugar,” is the ultimate source for the name of this crimped linen, cotton, or rayon fab- ric that was first made in India, whence the British began to import it in the early 18th century for summer seersucker suits. Shīr o shakkar became the Hindu sirsakar, which was corrupted to seersucker in English. |
