单词 tammy
释义

tammyn.1

Brit. /ˈtami/, U.S. /ˈtæmi/
Forms: Also 1600s tammey, 1700s tamy.
Etymology: Appears to be identical with obsolete French tamise ‘étoffe de laine lustrée’ cited by Littré from a letter patent of 22 July, 1780 (compare cerise , cherry ); but this may have been an adaptation of the English word, which was in use a century earlier. It has also been suggested to be a corruption of tamin n., or a derivative of French estame worsted, estamet cloth-rash (Cotgrave).
a. A fine worsted cloth of good quality, often with a glazed finish. Much mentioned in 17th and 18th centuries, but apparently obsolete before 1858. The name was revived as a trade-term in the late 19th cent.: see quot. 1876.
