单词 matchcoat
释义

matchcoat

/ˈmatʃˌkəʊt/
(also match coat, match-coat) US. Now chiefly historical
noun
A kind of coat formerly worn by North American Indians, originally made of furs, later of coarse woollen cloth (as supplied by white traders).

Origin

Early 17th century; earliest use found in John Smith (bap. 1580, d. 1631), soldier and colonial governor. From Virginia Algonquian matchkore deerskin robe from Proto-Algonquian *mat- (empty root) + *-ixtoθ- robe, blanket. The oldest recorded form matchcore reflects the etymon; the predominant later form shows assimilation of the final syllable to coat by folk etymology.
