英语词汇jersey的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Jersey. Jersey, the largest of England’s Channel Islands, was named for the Caesars, having been called Caesarea when the Romans ruled over it, Jersey being simply a corruption of Cae- sarea. In the eighth century b.c., ey, the suffix of the word Jersey, meant “an island,” so therefore Jersey is “the island of Caesar,” or “Caesar’s island.” Little evidence of the Roman occupation remains in Jersey or any of the islands in the English Channel. The Romans added the island to their empire after the Gauls had ruled there and, more than 1,500 years later the only evi- dence of their occupation is traces of Roman buildings found in Alderney. Jersey also refers to a breed of cattle, raised on Jer- sey and noted for yielding milk with high butterfat content. Close-fitting knitted sweaters and skirts, or similar women’s garments, are called jerseys because they were first made from jersey cloth, machine-woven fabrics of wool, etc., manufac- tured on the island of Jersey. See caesarian section.
