upholster
英 [?p'h??lst?; -'h?l-]
美 [?p'holst?]
- vt. 裝飾；用（掛毯、家具等）布置；為（沙發(fā)等）裝上墊子
助記提示
1. unhold 含有“支持、維護、維修”之意，由此 upholder / upholdster / upholdester 用來特指“家具維修工，家具維修、維護商”，后來在 upholdster 的基礎上再加后綴 -er 形成 upholdsterer, 以及由其簡化、縮略而形成的異體 upholsterer, 用以指“家具裝飾用品商；室內(nèi)裝潢商”，后來又在 upholsterer 的基礎上逆構(gòu)出動詞 upholster, 用以表示“為(家具等)裝上套、墊或彈簧等，為(房間)裝設地毯、簾幕等”。
2. 因此，要注意該詞與 holster 毫無關系。

英文詞源
- upholster
- upholster: [19] Upholster has no etymological connection with holsters. It is a back-formation from upholsterer [17], which itself was derived from an earlier but now obsolete upholster ‘person who deals in or repairs small articles’. This was an agent noun formed from the verb uphold [13] (a compound of up and hold), in the now defunct sense ‘repair’.
=> hold - upholster (v.)
- 1853, back-formation from upholsterer. Related: Upholstered; upholstering.
