artificial turf人造草皮
古英语 turf, tyrf “土壤和草皮的块状物,草地表面”,也指“草地表面”,源自原始日耳曼语 *turfa-(源头还包括古挪威语 torf,丹麦语 tørv,古弗里西亚语 turf,古高地德语 zurba,德语 Torf),源自印欧语根 *drebh- “卷曲,压缩”(源头还包括梵语 darbhah “草丛”)。
尤指“赛马场”,因此 the turf 指“赛马专业”(1755年)。法语 tourbe “草皮”是一个日耳曼语借词。古英语的复数与单数相同,但在中古英语中,有时使用 turves。黑话中“帮派宣称的领土”一词始见于1953年的纽约布鲁克林; 此前,它在盲流用语中指“街道,人行道”(20世纪30年代),在流浪汉用语中始见于1899年,此前指“妓女的工作和场所”(1860年)。Turf war 的记录始于1962年。
