词汇 | panama hat |
词源 | panama hat. Made from plaited leaves of a palmlike plant (Carludovica palmata) of South America, the panama hat, or panama, is something of a misnomer. The hats originated in Ec- uador, but have been called panama hats since they were first recorded in English in 1833—probably because Panama was the major distribution center for them. |
