单词 paraphernalia
释义

paraphernalian.

Brit. /ˌparəfəˈneɪlɪə/, U.S. /ˌpɛrəfə(r)ˈneɪljə/, /ˌpɛrəfə(r)ˈneɪliə/
Forms: 1600s parafernalia, 1600s– paraphernalia, 1700s paraphonalia, 1700s–1800s paraphanalia, 1800s parapharnalia, 1900s– paraphenalia.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin paraphernalia.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin paraphernalia married woman's property (c1270, 14th cent. in British sources; frequently from 14th cent. in continental sources; also as parafernalia ), use as noun (short for paraphernalia bona ) of neuter plural of paraphernalis paraphernal adj. Compare earlier paraphernal n., paraphonalion n.With the form paraphonalia compare post-classical Latin paraphonalia (1478–9 in a British source, in an Anglo-Norman context):1478–9 Year-bk. 18 Edw. IV 11 b Auxy de son apparaile quel est appel en nostr ley paraphonalia de ceo per lagreement do son baron el poet faire testament. Compare also post-classical Latin paraphonalis (in res paraphonales, a1564 in a British source).
1. Law. With plural agreement. Articles of personal property, esp. clothing and ornaments, which (exceptionally at common law) did not automatically transfer from the property of the wife to the husband by virtue of the marriage. Now historical.In most modern systems of law based on the Roman, paraphernalia bona (in French biens paraphernaux) means much the same thing as the Roman parapherna (cf. parapherna n.), but in English and Scottish Common law, under which all personal or movable property of a wife was vested ipso jure in the husband, the paraphernalia became restricted to such purely personal belongings of a wife as dress, jewels, and the like. While the husband retained legal possession of these, the wife had free use of them and retained them on her husband's death. But in neither England nor Scotland did paraphernalia strictly include articles like household furniture, even if these had been marriage presents to the wife. Since the Married Women's Property Acts of 1870, 1882, etc., the term has possessed little or no significance in English and Scottish legal practice.
