| 释义 | 〔cappuccino〕The history of the wordcappuccino exemplifies how words can develop new senses because of resemblances that the original coiners of the terms might not have dreamed possible.The Capuchin order of friars, established after 1525,played an important role in bringing Catholicism back to Reformation Europe.Its Italian name came from the long, pointed cowl,orcappuccino, derived fromcappuccio, "hood,” that was worn as part of the order's habit.The French version ofcappuccino was capuchin (now capucin ), from which came EnglishCapuchin. The name of this pious order was later used as the name (first recorded in English in 1785) for a type of monkey with a tuft of black, cowllike hair.In Italiancappuccino went on to develop another sense, "espresso coffee mixed or topped with steamed milk or cream,”so called because the color of the coffee resembled the color of the habit of a Capuchin friar.The first use ofcappuccino in English is recorded in 1948 in a work about San Francisco. cappuccino 一词的历史很好地说明了词语如何可以因一些相似性而发展出新的意思， 而这些词的创造者也许做梦都没想过这些相似性是可能的。嘉布遣会建于1525年后，在将天主教带回经历宗教改革的欧洲的过程中发挥了重要作用。它的意大利语名称来自一种长而尖的蒙斗篷，或称cappuccino， 这个词又来自coppuccio， 意为“风帽”， 蒙头斗篷是这一派修士所穿衣服的一部分。Cappuccino 在法语中成了 capuchin （现在是 capucin ）， 英语中的Capuchin 就来自这个法语词。 这一虔诚教派的名字后来被用来作一种带一撮黑色的、蒙面斗篷似毛发的驴子的名字（于1785年首次用英语记录）。在意大利语中，cappuccino 接着又发展出一个新的意思， 意为“混以或加入煮过的牛奶或奶油的浓别啡，”这样叫是因为这种咖啡的颜色类似于嘉布遣会修士所穿衣服的颜色。Cappuccino 在英语中的第一次使用记载于1948年一本关于旧金山的著作中 〔capuche〕A hood on a cloak, especially the long, pointed cowl worn by a Capuchin monk.嘉布遣尖顶风帽：连在披风上的兜帽，尤指嘉布遣会修士戴的长而尖的风帽〔shallot〕A type of onion with long, pointed, pear-shaped, aggregated bulbs.青葱，叶葱：一种长有长而尖的、梨形的并聚集成团状球茎的洋葱〔porcupine〕Any of various rodents of the Old World family Hystricidae or the New World family Erethizontidae, having long, sharp, erectile quills interspersed with coarse hair.豪猪，箭猪：东半球的豪猪科和西半球的美洲豪猪科的各种啮齿类动物之一，其粗硬的毛发中分布着长而尖的直立刺〔pratincole〕Any of several Old World shore birds of the genusGlareola, having brown and black plumage, long pointed wings, a forked tail, and a tapered bill. 林鹬：一种东半球燕行鸟 属欧洲水鸟，有褐色和黑色羽毛、长而尖的翅膀、分叉的尾巴和渐细的喙 〔nuthatch〕Any of several small, short-tailed birds of the family Sittidae, having a long sharp bill and known for climbing down trees headfirst.
