cassock[cassock 词源字典]

cassock: [16] Etymologically, a cassock is probably a cloak worn by a Cossack; the two words appear to be ultimately identical. Cassock, which originally meant simply ‘cloak’ or ‘long coat’ (its current application to clergymen’s tunics arose in the 17th century), comes via French casaque from Italian casacca. It has been conjectured that this was a descendant of Turkish quzzāk ‘nomad’ (a derivative of the verb qaz ‘wander’), which also, via Russian kozak, gave English Cossack [16].

However, another theory is that cassock comes ultimately from Persian kazhāghand ‘padded jacket’, a compound formed from kazh ‘raw silk’ and āghand ‘stuffed’.
