tennisn.

Brit.

/ˈtɛnɪs/, U.S.

/ˈtɛnəs/

Forms: α. Middle English teˈnetz, Middle English teneys, 1500s ten(n)es; β. Middle English tenyce, tenyys, Middle English–1500s tenys, tenyse, tennys, tennyse, 1500s tenice, tennysse, ( tinnis), 1500s–1600s tenis, tenise, tennise, tennice, (1600s Scottish tinneis), 1500s– tennis.

Etymology: Known c1400 in form teˈnetz, later teˈnnes, teˈneys, -ys, -yce, teˈnise; in Italian mentioned in the Cronica di Firenze of Donato Velluti (who died in 1370) as tenes, and said to have been introduced into Florence by French knights early in the year 1325. For ulterior history and etymology see Note below. The introduction of some form of tennis into Florence by the French knights in 1325, and the use of the name tenes, appear not to be recorded elsewhere than in Velluti's Cronica, nor does either game or name appear to have been long retained; the name was manifestly foreign, and opposed to Italian word-formation. But its use in Florence at least 30 and perhaps 70 years before the earliest known English example, implies either that the English name came from Italy, or that both had a common source. The latter is the more likely; it was French knights who introduced the game at Florence, and the English teˈnetz, teˈneys, with their final stress, imply French origin. The difficulty is that the game has apparently never borne any such name in French, where, from 1350 or earlier, it has been called la paulme, la paume. The only French word akin in form is tenez (Anglo-Norman tenetz), 2nd person plural present indicative and imperative of tenir ‘to hold’, also ‘to take, receive what is offered’. Hence the suggestion made by Minsheu 1617, and favoured by Skeat, Jusserand, and others, that the name originated in the French imperative tenez ‘take, receive’, called by the server to his opponent. There is of course the difficulty that no mention of this call has yet been found in French, where it must have been used if thence taken into Italian and English. But in the Colloquies of Cordier and Erasmus, the server's call is latinized as accipe and excipe, and in the Carmen de ludo pilæ reticulo of R. Fressart, Paris, 1641, ‘excipe’, ‘pilam excipe’, ‘mitto pilam in tectum, excipe’, with other uses of excipere and accipere, occur eight times in the portion printed by Julian Marshall Annals of Tennis 27–9. These Latin words witness to the use of tenez or some equivalent call in French, and favour the conclusion that this call gave rise to the 14th cent. Italian and English name.

1. A game in which a ball is struck with a racket and driven to and fro by two players in an enclosed oblong court, specially constructed for the purpose, and (in the developed form of the game) having an enclosed corridor on one of the long sides roofed over by a penthouse. Now usually known as real tennis (see real tennis n.) to distinguish the game from the more popular lawn tennis (see 2).The game had originally a much simpler form, the ball being struck with the palm of the hand (hence French la paume). It was also played in the open air, as still in some places in France, and down to about 1800 in England under the name field-tennis, of which lawn tennis may be considered a greatly modified revival.

tennis bracelet n. a flexible bracelet containing many small gems, typically diamonds, of uniform size and shape linked together in a narrow chain.The name is sometimes said to derive from an incident during a tennis match at the US Open in 1987, when a bracelet of this design worn by the player Chris Evert broke and she asked the officials to stop play in order to retrieve it. However, as evidence for the term predates 1987, it is more likely so named because the design of the bracelet makes it easy to wear while playing tennis.

单词	tennis
释义	tennisn. Brit. /ˈtɛnɪs/, U.S. /ˈtɛnəs/ Forms: α. Middle English teˈnetz, Middle English teneys, 1500s ten(n)es; β. Middle English tenyce, tenyys, Middle English–1500s tenys, tenyse, tennys, tennyse, 1500s tenice, tennysse, ( tinnis), 1500s–1600s tenis, tenise, tennise, tennice, (1600s Scottish tinneis), 1500s– tennis. Etymology: Known c1400 in form teˈnetz, later teˈnnes, teˈneys, -ys, -yce, teˈnise; in Italian mentioned in the Cronica di Firenze of Donato Velluti (who died in 1370) as tenes, and said to have been introduced into Florence by French knights early in the year 1325. For ulterior history and etymology see Note below. The introduction of some form of tennis into Florence by the French knights in 1325, and the use of the name tenes, appear not to be recorded elsewhere than in Velluti's Cronica, nor does either game or name appear to have been long retained; the name was manifestly foreign, and opposed to Italian word-formation. But its use in Florence at least 30 and perhaps 70 years before the earliest known English example, implies either that the English name came from Italy, or that both had a common source. The latter is the more likely; it was French knights who introduced the game at Florence, and the English teˈnetz, teˈneys, with their final stress, imply French origin. The difficulty is that the game has apparently never borne any such name in French, where, from 1350 or earlier, it has been called la paulme, la paume. The only French word akin in form is tenez (Anglo-Norman tenetz), 2nd person plural present indicative and imperative of tenir ‘to hold’, also ‘to take, receive what is offered’. Hence the suggestion made by Minsheu 1617, and favoured by Skeat, Jusserand, and others, that the name originated in the French imperative tenez ‘take, receive’, called by the server to his opponent. There is of course the difficulty that no mention of this call has yet been found in French, where it must have been used if thence taken into Italian and English. But in the Colloquies of Cordier and Erasmus, the server's call is latinized as accipe and excipe, and in the Carmen de ludo pilæ reticulo of R. Fressart, Paris, 1641, ‘excipe’, ‘pilam excipe’, ‘mitto pilam in tectum, excipe’, with other uses of excipere and accipere, occur eight times in the portion printed by Julian Marshall Annals of Tennis 27–9. These Latin words witness to the use of tenez or some equivalent call in French, and favour the conclusion that this call gave rise to the 14th cent. Italian and English name. 1. A game in which a ball is struck with a racket and driven to and fro by two players in an enclosed oblong court, specially constructed for the purpose, and (in the developed form of the game) having an enclosed corridor on one of the long sides roofed over by a penthouse. Now usually known as real tennis (see real tennis n.) to distinguish the game from the more popular lawn tennis (see 2).The game had originally a much simpler form, the ball being struck with the palm of the hand (hence French la paume). It was also played in the open air, as still in some places in France, and down to about 1800 in England under the name field-tennis, of which lawn tennis may be considered a greatly modified revival.
