sequined (adj.)
17世纪时,意大利和土耳其的一种金币被称为“sequin”,源自于法语 sequin,来自于威尼斯共和国铸造的一种金币 zecchino,源自于意大利语 zecca “造币厂”(13世纪),而这个词源于阿拉伯语 sikka “铸币模具”,因此,也就引申为“铸币、货币”。
“装饰性的圆盘或小片”这个意思最早见于1852年的时尚文章中,也出现在描述东方妇女服饰的文章中,她们戴着威尼斯金币穿孔后做成的耳环或项链。 1865年11月,《Genesee Farmer》的女士部报告说:“头饰都是希腊风格,要么是镶有珠子的天鹅绒头带,要么是镶有镀金、银或钢的星星,或者是用镀金的金币串成的链子。” 过去分词形容词 sequined 出现在1889年。
French, from Italian zecchino, from zecca mint, from Arabic (dār al-) sikka, literally, house of the minting die
