descant词源中文解释
大约1400年，源自英法语的 deschaunt，指“为了给定旋律添加的对应旋律”，源自古法语 deschant 和盎格鲁-法语 deschaunt，来自中世纪拉丁语 discantus 的“副歌，组歌”，源自拉丁语 dis- 的“分散，分离”（参见 dis-），以及“歌曲，唱歌； 鸟的鸣叫声”的 cantus，源自 canere 的过去分词词干“唱歌”（源自 PIE 词根 *kan- “唱歌”）。
16世纪时，英语的拼写方式被部分拉丁化，但它对 des- 在英语中的保留是一个例外。 它最早是在1560年代有“作曲多声部音乐的技艺”之义，也有“上声部或声音”的含义。 从1570年代开始作为“一首波动多变的歌曲，一首有多种变化的歌曲”的含义。 “关于一个主题的持续讲话或评论系列”的引申意义始于1590年代。
A metaphor taken from musick, where a simple air is made the subject of a composition, and a number of ornamented variations composed upon it. [Hensleigh Wedgwood, "A Dictionary of English Etymology," 1859]
这是从音乐中借鉴的一种比喻，音乐中一个简单的旋律成为作曲的主题，同时创作了很多装饰性的变化。 [Hensleigh Wedgwood，“An English Etymology Dictionary”，1859]
