<注釋>A dress is such a common article of modern attirethat it is difficult to imagine that the worddress at one time did not refer to such a thing. The earliest sense ofdress, recorded in a work written before 450, was .speech, talk.. The relationship of our modern sense to this early sense is explained by the factthat the noundress comes from the verb dress, which goes back through Old Frenchdrecier, .to arrange,. and the assumed Vulgar Latindorecti3re to Latin dorectus, a form of the verbdorigere, .to direct.. In accordance with its etymology the verbdress has meant or still means .to place,. .to arrange,. and .to put in order.. The sense .to clothe. is related to the notion of putting in order,specifically in regard to clothing.This verb sense then gave rise to the noun sense .personal attire.as well as to the important garment sense, which has made the fortune of many a fashion designer.The earliest noun sense,.speech,. comes from a verb sense having to do with addressing or directing words to other people.
衣服是現(xiàn)代服飾中相當(dāng)普通的物件，很難想象dress 一詞一度并不指衣服。 根據(jù)寫于450年以前的一本書記載dress 的最早含義是.說話，談話。. 我們的現(xiàn)代含義與這一早期含義的關(guān)系可由以下事實(shí)解釋：名詞dress 來源于動(dòng)詞 dress ， 動(dòng)詞dress又可追溯到古法語drecier， .安排.， 與假定的拉丁俗語directiaer 乃至拉丁語 directus， 該拉丁詞是動(dòng)詞dirigere .引導(dǎo).的一種形式。 按照其詞源動(dòng)詞dress 曾經(jīng)并仍意為.放置.，.安排.與.使有序.。 .著衣.一義與使有序的意思有關(guān)，特別是有關(guān)衣物時(shí)，該動(dòng)詞意義又產(chǎn)生了名詞意義.個(gè)人服飾.，以及使許多服裝設(shè)計(jì)師大發(fā)其財(cái)?shù)恼蕉Y服的意義。最早的名詞含義，.說話.來自于有關(guān)與其它人說話的動(dòng)詞意義
