单词 hatchment
释义

hatchmentn.1

Brit. /ˈhatʃmənt/, U.S. /ˈhætʃmənt/
Forms: 1500s achement, 1500s hatsement, 1500s–1600s hachement, 1500s–1600s hachment, 1600s– hatchment, 1700s–1800s atch'ment, 1700s– atchment, 1800s ach'ment, 1800s achment.
Origin: Probably a borrowing from French. Etymon: French hachement.
Etymology: Probably a borrowing < Middle French hachement (French †achement , †hachement ) armorial device consisting of ribbons tied together and flowing about a shield or helmet in a coat of arms (1349), probably a variant or alteration (perhaps reflecting association with hacher hatch v.2) of Old French acesmement ornament (13th cent.: see below). The now usual specific sense in English has no parallel in French and appears to show a semantic development within English. Compare post-classical Latin hachiamentum (1352 in a British source; < French), and perhaps also Middle French hachement engraving work (see hatchment n.2). Although this word appears to have been associated from an early date with its synonym achievement n., which is first attested later in the relevant sense (compare sense 2 at that entry), it is unclear whether there is any etymological relationship between the two words.Old French acesmement is < acesmer to adorn, to prepare (c1130), of uncertain origin (see further Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch XXIV. at *accismare).
1. An escutcheon or armorial device; esp. a diamond-shaped or (occasionally) square panel or canvas with a deceased person's armorial bearings, affixed to his or her house during mourning and often afterwards placed in a church. Cf. achievement n. 2.
