释义

cinquepacen.

/ˈsɪŋkəpeɪs/
Forms: 1500s cinquepasse, cinquopas(se, sinkapace, 1500s–1600s sinquepace, 1600s cinquepace, cinque-a-pace, cinqu-a-pace, sinke-a-pace.
Etymology: In 16th cent. cinquepas = French cinq five pas paces. Littré has cinq pas et trois visages [i.e. five paces and three faces] sorte d'ancienne danse.
Obsolete.
A kind of lively dance much used for some time before and after 1500. From the name it is inferred that ‘the steps were regulated by the number five’ (Nares); and its identity with the galliard appears to be established by a passage referring to the latter in Sir J. Davis's Poem on Dancing st. lxvii,‘Five was the number of the music's feet Which still the dance did with five paces meet.’
