- 1(1) 蟒蛇 (2) 羽毛圍巾
Two meanings. (1) A big, heavy snake that kills its food by squeezing it tightly, not by biting with poison. (2) A long, soft, fluffy scarf made of feathers or fur, worn around the neck for fashion, sometimes on stage.
From the word’s history
From Latin boa 'large snake'; the scarf is named for its likeness.
源自拉丁文 boa「大蛇」；羽毛圍巾因形狀像蛇而得名。
