salon 沙龍——沙龍

salon 客廳，會客室，沙龍，美發廳，美容院

來自法語 salon,客廳，會客室，來自意大利語 salone,大廳，廳堂，來自 PIE*sal,居住地，聚居點。在 17，18 世紀的時候，法國巴黎的貴婦人喜歡邀請當時的社會名流或文化人士在家中客廳談詩論畫，因而引申詞義沙龍，現也用於指美發廳，美容院等詞義。比較 bluestocking.

salon (n.): 1690s, "large room or apartment in a palace or great house," from French salon "reception room" (17c.), from Italian salone "large hall," from sala "hall," from a Germanic source (compare Old English sele, Old Norse salr "hall," Old High German sal "hall, house," German Saal), from Proto-Germanic *salaz, from PIE *sel- (1) "human settlement" (cognates: Old Church Slavonic selo "courtyard, village," obsolete Polish siolo, Russian selo "village," Lithuanian sala "village").

Sense of "reception room of a Parisian lady" is from 1810; meaning "gathering of fashionable people" first recorded 1888 (the woman who hosts one is a salonnière). Meaning "annual exhibition of contemporary paintings and sculpture in Paris" is from its originally being held in one of the salons of the Louvre. Meaning "establishment for hairdressing and beauty care" is from 1913.
