英文词源
- balcony
- balcony: [17] Balcony entered English from Italian balcone, but it seems to be ultimately of Germanic origin. It was probably borrowed into Old Italian, with the meaning ‘scaffold’. from Germanic *balkon ‘beam’, source of English balk – perhaps from the notion of a platform or scaffold being built from beams of timber, although the connection is not altogether clear.
=> balk - balcony (n.)
- 1610s, from Italian balcone, from balco "scaffold," from a Germanic source (perhaps Langobardic *balko- "beam," cognate with Old English balca "beam, ridge;" see balk (n.)) + Italian augmentative suffix -one. Till c. 1825, regularly accented on the second syllable.
