pageantry sense 1
14世纪晚期, pagent,“神秘剧的一部分”,源自中世纪拉丁语 pagina,起源不明,可能来自拉丁语 pagina “书页”(参见 page(n.1)),意为“剧本手稿”。
但中古英语中的一个早期意义也是“轮式舞台或场景”(14世纪晚期),克莱因、世纪词典等称中世纪拉丁语 pagina 的一个意义是“可移动脚手架”(可能来自“桩”的词源意义)。这个意义可能从平台扩展到上面呈现的剧本。
与非词源性的 -t 一起使用,如 ancient(adj.)。在中古英语中还有“皇家欢迎或罗马凯旋的场景”(15世纪中期); “故事,传说”(15世纪初); “房间的装饰性悬挂物”(15世纪中期)的意义。1805年出现了“华丽的游行,壮观的场面”的广义意义,尽管这个概念在 pageantry(1650年代)中也有体现。
