单词 steenkirk
释义

steenkirksteinkirkn.

Brit. /ˈstiːnkəːk/, U.S. /ˈstinˌkərk/
Forms: Also 1700s stinkirk.
Etymology: < French (cravate à la) Steinkerke, Steinkerque, from the victory of Steenkerke (Belgium) gained by the French over the English and their allies on 3 Aug. 1692. It has long been common to give the names of victories to new patterns of attire etc. introduced about the time of the battle. It is said that in France the designation à la Steinkerke had a great temporary vogue as applied to clothing, jewellery, cosmetics, and the like. According to Voltaire, the original cravate à la Steinkerke simulated the appearance of negligence, in allusion to the disordered dress of the French nobles when hastily summoned to the battle.
Historical.
A kind of neckcloth (worn both by men and women), having long laced ends hanging down or twisted together, and passed through a loop or ring.
