decal (n.)

“贴画，从特制纸张转移到其他表面”，1909年缩写自 decalcomania（1864年），源自法语 décalcomanie，来自18世纪的 décalquer，“将追踪从特制纸张转移到玻璃、瓷器等”（在法国流行于19世纪40年代，在英国流行于1862-1864年），来自 de- “离开”（见 de-）+ calquer “压”，源自意大利语 calcare，来自拉丁语 calcare “踩，压”，来自 calx（1）“脚跟”（见 calcaneus）。

Time was when there were only printers employed in making the sheets that were stuck on the ware, giving the old-time term of "plain print." This form of decoration was succeeded a few years ago by the decalcomania or "decal." This "decal" is an imported sheet, lithographed, and the little sprigs, flowers and scenes are cut out and stuck on the ware. [Brick, the Leading Clay Journal, April 1909]

曾经只有印刷工人负责制作贴在器皿上的纸张，称为“普通印刷”。几年前，这种装饰形式被 decalcomania 或“decal”所取代。这个“decal”是一张进口的石版印刷纸，小的花朵、花枝和场景被剪下来贴在器皿上。[Brick, the Leading Clay Journal, April 1909]
