英文詞源
- caparison (n.)
- 1570s, "cloth spread over a saddle," also "personal dress and ornaments," from Middle French caparasson (15c., Modern French capara?on), from Spanish caparazón, perhaps from augmentative of Old Proven?al caparasso "a mantle with a hood," or Medieval Latin caparo, the name of a type of cape worn by women, literally "chaperon" (see chaperon). Past participle adjective caparisoned is attested from c. 1600, from a verb caparison (1590s), from French capara?onner, from capara?on.
