词汇 capuchin
词源
Capuchin.  The order of Capuchin monks, established in 1520, came into being when Franciscan friar Matteo di Bascio insisted that the habit worn by the Franciscans ­wasn’t the one that St. Francis had worn. He stubbornly fashioned himself a ­sharp-­pointed pyramidal hood (capuche), let his beard grow, and went barefoot; the pope granted him permission eight years later to wear this costume and form a separate order that would preach to the poor. The new offshoot of Franciscans came to be named for the headdress its monks still wear, and it ­wasn’t long before a woman’s combined cloak and hood was dubbed a capuchin after the monks’ cowl. The tropical Capu­ chin monkey and Capuchin pigeon are named for the Capuchin’s ­costume—the monkey’s black hair and appearance resembling the monastic cowl, and the pigeon having a hoodlike tuft of black feathers.
