英语词汇oriflamme的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	oriflamme
词源	oriflamme. The early kings of France carried the red banner of the abbey of St. Denis, near Paris, as a military ensign. The flag, called the oriflamme, was crimson, cut into three pennants to represent tongues of fire, and carried on a gilded staff. Legend had it that men were blinded by merely looking on the ori- flamme, but it was replaced by the fleurs-de-lis in the 15th cen- tury. It took its beautiful name from the Latin for “golden flame.”
