单词 Büste
释义

Büste

See also: buste

German

Büste der Nofretete im Neuen Museum Berlin
bust of Nefertiti in the Neues Museum, Berlin

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈbʏstə/[1], /ˈbyːstə/[2]
  • (file)

Etymology 1

  • The word was borrowed from Italian busto and French buste in the 18th century:[3] More precisely, at the beginning of the 18th century the Busto and Buste were borrowed from Italian busto, and since the 2nd half of the 18th century, under influence of French buste which was also borrowed from Italian, the German word Büste was applied in general use.[4] Further details about the origin are not certain.[3] The Italian word might be from Latin bustum (funeral pyre, burial mound), presuming that bustum in the sense of tomb could denote a figural representation of the person deceased.[4]
  • In the sense of “female breast, bosom”[3][4] it is applied in general use since the middle[4] of the 19th century[3][4] as a probable new borrowing from French buste “idem”.[4]
