jar(n.)
"罐形的陶土或玻璃容器",早在15世纪,可能来自罕见的古法语 jarre "小于桶的液体容量单位",或更可能来自拉丁中世纪语 jarra(13世纪)或西班牙语或加泰罗尼亚语 jarra(13世纪),这些词最终都源自阿拉伯语 jarrah "陶制水容器,水壶"(也是普罗旺斯语 jarra 、意大利语 giarra 的词源),这是13世纪地中海贸易中的通用词汇,源自波斯语 jarrah "一个罐子,陶制水容器"。最初在英国用于进口橄榄油的大容器。
In Britain in the 15th to 17th centuries, oil-lamps were overall not often used, because the oil was too expensive. Usage increased in the 17th century despite the expense. Olive oil was the most-often-used type of oil in the oil-lamps until the 18th century. The indications are good that no country or region exported more oil to Britain than southern Spain did in the 15th-17th centuries, with southern Italy coming second.
