英语词汇mackinaw blanket的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Mackinaw blanket; Mackinaw coat. John S. Farmer, in Americanisms Old and New (1889) first gave the origins of this term common in America since about 1830: “A superior kind of blanket which derived its distinctive name from the island of Mackinaw, formerly one of the chief posts at which Indian tribes received their grants from the government. A provision of one of the Indian treaties was that part of the payment made to the redskins should be in these superior blankets, and from that fact the name Mackinaw Blankets or Mackinaws simply was de- rived.” A Mackinaw coat is a coat made from a Mackinaw blan- ket, or from any blanket.
