Dutch ezel [ass]
荷兰语 ezel [驴]
from Middle Dutch esel
源自 中古荷兰语 esel

源自 拉丁语 asellus [] asinus的小后缀

<注释>.A painter`s ass. is not a phrase that immediately brings to mind an accessory to the artist`s profession.Buteasel comes to us from the Dutch word ezel, meaning .an ass, one of several hoofed mammals of the genusEquus. . The Dutch word was eventually extended to mean .an upright frame for displaying or supporting something, such as an artist`s canvas,.in the same way that the English wordhorse has come to mean .a piece of gymnastic equipment with an upholstered body used especially for vaulting.. Developments such as these illustrate the playfulness present in language when its speakers use similarities perceived between two objects in order to name one of them.This kind of naming can involve a dash of wit,as is probably the case with the Dutch wordezel. It is certainly the case with the name for a bank of uncovered outdoor seats for spectators.When sitting in the open air in a stadium,one is exposed to the sunjust as linens are when they are bleached on a clothesline;thus,bleachers.
.一个画家的驴.并不是一个马上使人联想到画家作画工具的词组。但是easel 从荷兰语单词 ezel 而来， 意思是.驴，马 属的几种蹄类哺乳动物中的一种.。 这个荷兰语单词最终引申为表示.用于展示或支撑某物，如画家画布的一种直立框架.。同样，英语单词马 发展成为表示.可用于跳跃并带有支架躯体的一种体操器械.。 语言的这些发展表现了说话者利用两个物体间明显的相似之处来给其中一物命名时的玩笑似的做法。这种命名方式带点机智和想象，可能这个荷兰词ezel 就是这种情况。 同样情况也发生在对露天看台椅子的命名上。当坐在露天体育场里，人们暴晒于阳光之中，就好象漂洗过的亚麻布晾到晒衣绳上一样；因而就有了单词bleachers（露天看台）
