13世纪晚期,“长而宽松的无袖外衣”,源自古北法语 cloque(古法语 cloche, cloke)“旅行斗篷”,来自中世纪拉丁语 clocca “旅行者的披风”,字面意思是“钟”,因为这种衣服的形状像钟(这个词是 clock(n.1)的同源词)。
在16世纪之前,这是英格兰男女日常穿着的一种防护衣服; 高领圆形的形式在1800-1840年间重新流行为时尚服装,通常称为 Spanish cloak。比喻意义上,“覆盖或掩盖的东西,借口”,始于1520年代。
Cloak-and-dagger(adj.)始见于1848年,据说最初是翻译法语 de cape et d'épée,暗示着秘密的暴力和阴谋。参见 cloak-and-sword(1806),指的是情节曲折的浪漫冒险故事。
