单词 gaskin
释义

gaskinn.1

Brit. /ˈɡaskɪn/, U.S. /ˈɡæskən/
Forms:

α. 1500s gaskyn, 1500s gaskyng, 1500s– gaskin, 1600s gasking, 1600s gasskin.

β. 1500s gascoine, 1500s gayshekoon, 1500s–1600s gascoigne, 1500s–1700s gascoyne, 1600s gaskoine, 1600s–1700s gascoin, 1700s gascoign.

Origin: Apparently either (i) a variant of alteration of another lexical item. Or perhaps (ii) formed within English, by clipping or shortening. Etymons: Gascon n.; galligaskin n.
Etymology: Apparently a specific use of Gascon n. (compare forms at that entry), although the relationship with galligaskin n. is uncertain (compare discussion at that entry); the uses at this entry may show a shortening of galligaskin n., or they may reflect earlier currency of Gascon n. as a name for this garment (presumably as either coming from or being perceived to come from Gascony) which has subsequently motivated the forms seen at galligaskin n. The collocation gallant gaskins in quot. 1573 at sense 1 perhaps favours the former explanation (as a shortening of galligaskin n.), although compare also galley breeches , gally hose , and gally slops at gally adj.1The definition of French grègues given by Cotgrave (1611), ‘Wide Slops, Gregs, Gallogascoines, Venitians; great Gascon, or Spanish, hose’, may simply show association with Gascony arising as a result of earlier (folk-etymological) remodelling of galligaskin n.; with the form gallogascoines compare similarly gallogascaine in quot. 1592 at galligaskin n. 1b.
1. In plural. A kind of wide loose hose or breeches; trousers. Also occasionally in singular. Cf. galligaskin n. 1. Now rare.
