英文词源


arras
arras: [15] An arras is a tapestry hanging, immortalized by Shakespeare in Hamlet when he conceals Polonius behind one, there to be killed by Hamlet. The word comes from the Anglo-Norman phrase draps d’arras, literally ‘cloth of Arras’: Arras is a city in the Pas-de- Calais, northern France, famous in the Middle Ages as a centre for the manufacture of woollens and tapestry.
arras (n.)
"pictured tapestry," late 14c., from Anglo-French draps d'arras, from Arras, city in France where pictured tapestries were made, from Latin Atrebates, name of a tribe of the Belgae who inhabited the Artois region; probably literally "inhabitants," from a Celtic trebu "tribe."
