单词 belly dance
释义

belly dancen.

Brit. /ˈbɛlɪ dɑːns/, /ˈbɛlɪ dans/, U.S. /ˈbɛli ˌdæns/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; probably modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: belly n., dance n.
Etymology: < belly n. + dance n., probably after French danse du ventre (1864 in a review of Jean-Léon Gérôme's painting La danse de l'almée (1863), which depicts an Egyptian woman performing such a dance; compare almeh n.).Compare German Bauchtanz (1867 or earlier; rare before the 1890s), Italian danza del ventre (1878 or earlier), Spanish danza del vientre (1889 or earlier), all after French. Compare also Turkish göbek dansı (1931; < göbek navel, belly + dansı , combining form of dans < French danse dance n.) and also Oryantal dans (1936 as dans oryantal ), both after French (compare French danse orientale (1891 or earlier in this sense, showing oriental oriental adj.)). The Arabic name for this kind of dance, raqs šarqī (literally ‘eastern dance’), is likewise a recent calque on French danse orientale or a similar term in another European language.
A dance of Middle Eastern origin, typically performed by a woman and featuring movements of the torso such as undulating movements of the stomach and rotation of the hips.
