schooner

• n. [船] 縱帆船；大酒杯；大篷車

可能來自蘇格蘭語 scon,掠過水麵，打水漂或漂石子遊戲。

schooner (n.)

fore-and-aft rigged vessel, originally with only two masts, 1716, perhaps from a New England verb related to Scottish scon "to send over water, to skip stones." Skeat relates this dialectal verb to shunt. Spelling probably influenced by Dutch, but Dutch schoener is a loan-word from English, as are German Schoner, French schooner, Swedish skonert. Said to have originated in Gloucester, Mass., shipyard.

The rig characteristic of a schooner has been defined as consisting essentially of two gaff sails, the after sail not being smaller than the fore, and a head sail set on a bowsprit. [OED]

Meaning "tall beer glass" is from 1879, of unknown origin or connection.
