单词 plumage
释义

plumagen.

Brit. /ˈpluːmɪdʒ/, U.S. /ˈplumɪdʒ/
Forms: Middle English plomage, Middle English–1600s plummage, Middle English– plumage, 1600s plumadge.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French plumage.
Etymology: Originally < Middle French plumage, plomage feathers of a bird collectively (1284 in Old French as plumage ), a person's (showy or distinctive) clothing (1668 in La Fontaine's fable Le corbeau et le renard ( Fables II. i), and now chiefly with allusion to La Fontaine's use; earlier in Old French (1280) and Middle French (beginning of the 15th cent.), both in apparently isolated attestations)) < plume plume n. + -age -age suffix. Sense 2 probably shows an English development; this sense is apparently not paralleled in French until later (1611 in Cotgrave; now regional and rare), although compare an earlier Middle French use in sense ‘goldsmith's ornamental work’ (1523 in an apparently isolated attestation); perhaps compare plumach n. Compare Catalan plomatge (16th cent.), Spanish plumaje (first half of the 14th cent. or earlier), Portuguese plumagem (14th cent. as promagẽes (plural)), Italian piumaggio (1476 as piomagio ; probably < French), all earliest in sense 1a.
1.
a. The feathers of a bird collectively, frequently with reference to their colouring, arrangement, etc.
