单词 tammany
释义

Tammanyn.

Brit. /ˈtaməni/, U.S. /ˈtæməni/
Etymology: < Tammany Hall, the name of various buildings used as the headquarters of the Democratic Party of the U.S. from the early 19th to the mid 20th centuries.Tamanen, Tamene, Taminent, Taminy was the name of an Indian chief with whom W. Penn had transactions for land 1683 and 1697. Some time prior to 1771 the name became ‘canonized’, and from 1772 for about twenty years ‘Saint’ (or ‘King’) Tamina, Tamany, Tammany (generally identified with the chief of Penn's time) was regarded as the tutelar saint of Pennsylvania and other northern colonies or States, and the day assigned to him, May 1st (Old Style), May 12th (New Style), appropriated to popular celebrations, festive gatherings (often with some benevolent object), etc. From 1782 the name became associated with Societies established on a more or less permanent basis, of which that organized in New York is mentioned in 1787. The one which in 1790 is recorded as the ‘Society of St. Tammany’ and ‘the Sons of St. Tammany and Columbian Order’, and which in its constitution is claimed to be ‘founded on the true principles of patriotism, and has for its motives charity and brotherly love’, soon developed strong political activity, and by c1810 had become the headquarters of the Democratic Party (then called the Republican Party) in the State and City of New York. (From notes supplied by Mr. A. Matthews, Boston, Massachusetts.)
The name of the central organization of the Democratic party in the City (formerly also in the State) of New York, located in Tammany Hall. In English use the name has become esp. associated with the political and municipal corruption which at various times has characterized the government of New York. In extended use also applied to any similarly corrupt political organization or situation.
