英语词汇chinook的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Chinook; Chinook wind. Chinook, an important pidgin language, enabled 18th- and 19th-century American farmers and traders, French trappers, and even visiting Russian seal hunters to converse with Indians in the Pacific Northwest. Chi- nook jargon was used for more than 100 years. Named for the Chinook Indians, who had large settlements along the Colum- bia River, this lingua franca combined various Chinook dia- lects, other Indian languages, English, French, and probably Russian. Chinook wind, so called by early settlers because it blew from the direction of the Chinook Indian camps, desig- nates a dry wind blowing from the west or north over the Rocky Mountains—warm in winter and cool in summer— while a wet Chinook is a warm, moist wind blowing from sea to land in Washington and Oregon.
