英文词源


entrechat
entrechat: [18] An entrechat has no connection with cats, despite the passing resemblance to French chat. It comes from French, indeed, but there the original form was not entrechat but entrechas, a derivative of the verb entrechasser ‘chase in and out’, the notion being that the dancer’s feet cross, or ‘chase’, each other several times while she or he is in the air. The verb is a compound formed from entre ‘between’ and chasser ‘pursue’, a relative of English chase.
=> chase
