单词 zendaletto
释义

zendaletton.

Brit. /ˌzɛndəˈlɛtəʊ/, U.S. /ˌzɛndəˈlɛdoʊ/
Forms:

α. 1700s–1800s zendalet.

β. 1700s–1900s zendaletto, 1800s zendaletta, 2000s– zendaleto.

Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymon: Italian zendaletto.
Etymology: < Italian regional (Venice) zendaletto large square shawl (1755 or earlier as zendaetto ) < zendale (also zenda ), variant of zendado thin rich silken material (see sendal n.) + -etto -et suffix1.Specific senses. Sense 2 is not attested in Italian. It probably reflects confusion with Italian regional (Venice) sandaletto boat smaller than a gondola (19th cent. or earlier; < sandalo (in Venice) flat-bottomed boat used to transport cargo (14th cent.; < Byzantine Greek σάνδαλις < σάνδαλον sandal n.1 + -ις -id suffix2, with reference to the shape of the boat) + -etto -et suffix1). There is no evidence to support the suggestion that the ‘gondola’ sense developed from a specific use of zendaletto to denote a long piece of cloth falling from the back of the hood of a gondola into the water. Specific forms. The form zendaletta (see zendaletta at β. forms) probably reflects uncertainty about the value of unstressed final vowels in Romance loanwords.
1. Chiefly with reference to 18th-cent. Venice: a large shawl or veil of a type typically worn by women to cover the head and shoulders, sometimes being supported on a wire frame or headdress. Now rare (chiefly historical or archaic).
