Stetsonとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

A variant of Stitson, a habitational name from Stidston (“site in the Parish of South Brent”), from 中期英語 Stidewardesdoune, Stidewardeston, Stitewardeston, Styddeston, from 古期英語 Stīthweardes (genitive of Stīthweard (personal name)) + tūn (“farmstead estate”).

• (hat): From Stetson, an American brand of hat named after its manufacturer, John B. Stetson Company, itself named after John B. Stetson, who founded it in 1865. The hats were widely known in the 1870s and 1880s. Sol Steinmetz stated in 2010 that Stetson hat was first attested in 1900, but this is clearly mistaken, being several decades too late; it may be that what Steinmetz had meant to write is that Stetson alone as a common noun meaning a Stetson hat was first attested in 1900.

On the left side of the hat, just behind where it covered the left ear, and close to the hat band, there is a cut, apparently made with a sharp instrument.
