英文词源
- pavan (n.)
- "slow, stately dance," 1530s, from French pavane (1520s), probably from Spanish pavana, from pavo "peacock" (from Latin pavo), in reference to the bird's courting movements. But some see an Italian origin and trace the name to Padovana "Paduan." Possibly there was a merger of two distinct dance words.
英英释意
- 1. music composed for dancing the pavane
- 2. a stately court dance of the 16th and 17th centuries
