taupe 的詞源

taupe(n.)

"深棕灰色"(鼴鼠皮的顏色),1906年,源自法語 taupe,最初指"鼴鼠",古法語,源自拉丁語 talpa "鼴鼠"。下面的故事缺乏證據,似乎是一種幻想性的嘗試,試圖將顏色名稱的起源轉移到更有吸引力的東西:

Before the season advances very far you will find that taupe, pronounced "tope," will be the most favored color in the entire category of shades and blendings. The original word is taken from the German word "taube" pronounced "tob-a," which is the name for the dove, but the French have twisted the b into a p and give us taupe. [The Illustrated Milliner, August 1906]
在季節進展得不太遠之前,你會發現 taupe,發音爲"tope",將成爲整個色調和混合色類別中最受歡迎的顏色。這個詞最初來自德語單詞"taube",發音爲"tob-a",是鴿子的名字,但法國人把 b 扭成了 p,給了我們 taupe。[《Illustrated Milliner》,1906年8月]
