Flannel Welsh N Cloth Origin Word French Flænl

单词 flannel
音标 ['flænl]
解释 n. 法兰绒(一种布)
红宝书 【考】 flannel : cloth / linen : fabric(法兰绒是一种布料/ 亚麻是一种织物)
字源 flannel (n.)
c.1500, probably from Welsh gwlanen "woolen cloth," from gwlan "wool," from Celtic *wlana, from PIE *wele- (1) "wool" (see wool).
The Welsh origin is not a universally accepted etymology, due to the sound changes involved; some (Barnhart, Gamillscheg) suggest the English word is from an Anglo-French diminutive of Old French flaine "a kind of coarse wool." "As flannel was already in the 16th c. a well-known production of Wales, a Welsh origin for the word seems antecedently likely" [OED]. Modern French flanelle is a 17c. borrowing from English.
