英语词汇coleslaw的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	coleslaw
词源	coleslaw; hot slaw. The word is coleslaw, not cold slaw, and isn’t so named because the dish is served cold. An American- ism of Dutch origin, coleslaw derives from the Dutch koolsla, composed of kool, “cabbage,” plus sla, “salad.” First recorded in 1792, it must be older, as Dutch farmers on Long Island culti- vated the first cabbage in America long before this. Though there is no cold slaw, there is a hot slaw, the word for this dish first recorded in 1870.
