| 16-panel “imperial cut” dress "императорски модел" рокля от 16 парчета плат Language variant: рокля от 16 парчета по "императорска кройка" Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 54 mins (2008-07-15 13:23:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- OED - panel: I. A piece of cloth, and connected uses. 1. A piece of cloth placed under the saddle to protect the horse's back from being galled (obs.); now, the pad or stuffed lining of a saddle employed for this purpose. 2. A kind of saddle: generally applied to a rough treeless pad; but formerly sometimes to an ass's wooden saddle. †3. In more general sense: A small piece of anything. Obs. (Common in OF. but of doubtful existence in Eng.) II. A small piece or slip of parchment, and related legal uses. 4. A slip or roll of parchment, esp. the slip on which the sheriff entered the names of jurors and which he affixed to the writ. 5. a. A list of jurors, the jury itself. b. transf. A list of persons, or (quot. 1575) of beasts. spec. a list or group of people called upon to advise, judge, take part in a discussion or contest, etc. c. The official list of doctors in a district who accepted patients under the National Health Insurance Act of 1913 (since superseded by the National Health Service Act of 1946). on the panel, (a) of doctors, registered as accepting patients thus; (b) of patients, under the care of a ‘panel doctor’; also in extended use. 6. Scots Law. a. In the phrase on or upon the panel = upon (his, one's) trial. Also, in later use, in the panel, etc. The original sense of panel here is conjectural. It seems most probable that (on the analogy of sense 4) it meant a slip of parchment, containing the indictment, or the name or names of the persons indicted. To be on the panel would thus be to be indicted, and so on one's trial. It would also be easy to use the term elliptically for the name or names, and so, the person or persons, on the panel, as in b, where note that the word is collective. In later times, ‘the panel’ has been sometimes understood as a place, viz. ‘the bar of the court’ (so Jamieson), or the dock. Cf. the phrases in the panel, to put or bring into the panel, to enter the panel. b. The person or persons indicted, the accused. (The pl. form in quot. 1801 is a ‘foreigner's’ error.) III. A distinct piece or portion of some surface, etc., usually contained in a frame or border. (This appears to be the underlying idea in this group, but the arrangement is tentative and provisional.) †7. The general sense of ‘compartment’ or ‘section’ appears to be exemplified in the following: 8. A section or compartment of a fence or railing; a hurdle. Cf. pane n.1 3. 9. a. A distinct compartment of a wainscot, door, shutter, side of a carriage, etc., consisting usually of a thinner piece of board or other material, normally rectangular, set in the general framework. b. In architecture and other constructive arts: A compartment of a surface either sunk below or raised above the general level, and set in a moulding or other border, as in a frame, sometimes of different colour or material. c. Bookbinding. (a) A compartment of the external cover of a book enclosed in a border or frame. (b) Also, the space between the raised bands on the back of a book. d. (a) A piece of stuff of different kind or colour, laid or inserted lengthwise in the skirt of a woman's dress; also, the portion of the original material enclosed between two such pieces. (b) A panel-shaped piece of embroidery or appliqué work for insertion in any drapery. e. fig. Something resembling a panel in shape and relation to the surrounding space. f. A section of a tapestry or other ornamental work, usu. one surrounded by a decorative border. Also, a tapestry regarded as a whole. g. One of the shaped sections of a parachute. 10. †a. A window-pane. Obs. b. A compartment in a stained glass window, containing a separate subject. Also transf. 11. Coal-mining. a. A piece of coal left uncut in a mine. b. A compartment or division of a mine separated from the rest by thick masses or ribs of coal. 12. Gardening. A compartment of some design in carpet-bedding. 13. A compartment or division of a pavement. IV. A thin board, etc., such as might form a panel in sense 9. 14. a. A thin wooden board used as a surface for oil painting; also, a painting on such a board. b. A large size of photograph, of a height much greater than its width. Chiefly attrib. c. A leaf or section of a folding screen or triptych, etc. Also fig. 15. A board used by a baker, tailor, etc. 16. A control panel or instrument panel. V. Unclassed senses. 17. (See quot.) 18. Mining. (See quot.) 19. (See quot.) 20. (See quot.) (A rendering of Fr. panneau, perh. never actually in Eng. use: cf. pane n.1 5.)

peer agreement (net): +1| 16-panel “imperial cut” dress Рокля с висока талия... Explanation: Става дума за онези рокли, чиято долна част започва под бюста. Защо са наречени "имперски" остава загадка. :) За фразата предлагам "рокля с висока талия, разкроена на 16 парчета". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-07-15 14:49:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Уви, не е речник, а нещо като "анализ с натрупване" на информацията, намерена в интернет, която наистина не е много изчерпателна, но в случая даде безспорен ориентир. Иначе и аз веднага бих си купила подобен речник, ако го имаше. :) |
