Short for pantaloon
pantaloon的簡寫

<注釋>It would seem unlikely that the name of a 4th-century Roman Catholic saint should be the ultimate source of a word for a modern article of clothing commonly worn by both men and women.Pants, however, can be traced back to Pantaleon, the patron saint of Venice. He became so closely associated with the inhabitants of that citythat the Venetians became popularly known asPantaloni. Consequently, among the commedia dell`arte`s stock characters the representative Venetian (a stereotypically wealthy but miserly merchant) was calledPantalone. His name in French,Pantalon, was borrowed into English (first recorded around 590). During the middle of the 7th centurythe French came to identify him with one particular style of trousers,and this same style became known aspantaloons in English. Pantaloons was later applied to another style of trousers that came into fashion toward the end of the 8th century, tight-fitting garments that had begun to replace knee breeches.After thatpantaloons was used to refer to trousers in general. The last step in the development of the wordpants met with some resistance. This abbreviation ofpantaloon was considered vulgar and, as Oliver Wendell Holmes put it,.a word not made for gentlemen, but ‘gents.’.First found in the writings of Edgar Allan Poe in 840,pants has replaced the .gentleman`s word. in English and has lost all obvious connection to Saint Pantaleon.
看起來一位公元4世紀(jì)的羅馬天主教徒的名字似乎不可能是這個做為男人和女人平常都穿的布做的現(xiàn)代物品的根本詞源。Pants 但可以追溯到奧塔萊昂，威尼斯的庇護(hù)神。 他變得與這座城市里的居民聯(lián)系得這樣緊密，以至于威尼斯人也通俗的被稱為Pantaloni 。 結(jié)果，在即興喜劇的角色中那個有代表性的威尼斯人（一個愚富而吝嗇的商人）被稱作Pantalone。 他的法語名字Panlalon 被借用到英語中（初次記錄大約在590年）。 在7世紀(jì)中期，法國人開始把它與一種特殊類型的褲子等同起來，同一種類型的褲子在英語中是pantaloons 。 Pantaloons 后來被用作另一種類型的褲子并在8世紀(jì)末日漸流行， 緊身衣服已經(jīng)開始取代齊膝馬褲。在那以后，pantaloons 被用來泛指褲子。 在pants 一詞發(fā)展的最后遇到了一些阻力。 Pantaloon 的縮寫被認(rèn)為是粗俗的， 并且正如奧立弗·溫德爾·霍姆斯所說，.并不是為紳士而造的詞，而是為‘家伙們所造’.。最早在840年發(fā)現(xiàn)于艾德加·愛倫·坡的作品中，pants 在英語中已經(jīng)替代了那個.紳士的語言.， 而且顯然已失去了和圣奧塔萊昂的一切聯(lián)系
