escutcheon的词源解释,escutcheon来源

escutcheon(n.)

“盾牌,上面画有纹章”,15世纪晚期源于老诺-法文 escuchon,是老法语 escusson 的变体,“半皇冠(硬币); 纹章; 纹章盾牌”,源于拉丁俗语 *scutionem,来自拉丁语 scutum,“盾牌”,源于 PIE *skoito-,“木片,刀鞘,盾”,也指“板”; 还源自老爱尔兰语 sciath,威尔士语 ysgwyd,布里多尼语 scoed “盾牌”; 普鲁士语 staytan; 俄语 ščit “盾牌”)。该词可能是 PIE 词根 *skei- 的专有表义形式,“切,分”,是指“板子”。
