助記提示
1. ticket => etiquette.
2. 該詞原指“標簽”，“簽條”。其實英語單詞 ticket (票，標簽) 亦源于此。因為法國以前在宮廷盛宴時會發(fā)給賓客一張稱為 etiquette 的紙張或卡片，上面寫著應遵循的各種禮節(jié)、禮儀，由此后來就轉指、引申為：禮節(jié)、禮儀。

英文詞源
- etiquette
- etiquette: [18] Etiquette is, almost literally, ‘just the ticket’. The primary meanings of French étiquette are ‘ticket’ and ‘label’ – and indeed it is the source of English ticket. A particular application of it in former times was to a small card which had written or printed on it directions as to how to behave properly at court – hence it came to mean ‘prescribed code of social behaviour’.
=> ticket - etiquette (n.)
- 1750, from French étiquette "prescribed behavior," from Old French estiquette "label, ticket" (see ticket (n.)).
The sense development in French perhaps is from small cards written or printed with instructions for how to behave properly at court (compare Italian etichetta, Spanish etiqueta), and/or from behavior instructions written on a soldier's billet for lodgings (the main sense of the Old French word).
