14世纪末,“剪羊毛的人”; 15世纪初,“理发师”; 1300年代作为姓氏; 中古英语 clippen “缩短”(参见 clip(v.1))的动作名词。18世纪末,该词主要指“剪去硬币边缘的人”以取得贵金属。
这种帆船具有锐利的线条和广阔的帆布,从1823年开始被称为 clip(v.1),可能是因为其“迅速移动或奔跑”的意义。与19世纪初的 clipper “看起来能够快速奔跑的人或动物”相比较。也许受到了中古荷兰语 klepper “快速马”的影响,这是一个拟声词(Clipper 在1831年作为一匹英国赛马的名字出现)。航海的意义可能最初只是“快速的船”,而不管类型:
Well, you know, the Go-along-Gee was one o' your flash Irish cruisers — the first o' your fir-built frigates — and a clipper she was! Give her a foot o' the sheet, and she'd go like a witch — but somehow o'nother, she'd bag on a bowline to leeward. ["Naval Sketch-Book," by "An officer of rank," London, 1826]
嗯,你知道, Go-along-Gee 是你那些花哨的爱尔兰巡洋舰之一——第一艘杉木建造的护卫舰——她是一艘快速的帆船!给她一英尺的船帆,她就像女巫一样飞快地前进——但不知怎么回事,她总是向下飘向风帆。【“海军速写”,“一位高级军官”著,伦敦,1826年】
这些船最早与马里兰州的巴尔的摩市相关联。Clipper-ship 可追溯到1850年。
