dicky · false shirt front
nounFor the noun you can think of a small separate piece that stands in for a bigger one, or that sits at the very back. The shirt front is only the part that shows, with a jacket hiding the fact that there is no shirt behind it. The other use is about position rather than pretending: in carriage days the dicky was the seat at the very back, and in South Asia the name stayed with the space at the back of a car.
From the word’s history
The packet's Wiktionary etymology says the noun comes from Dicky, the pet form of Richard, and adds that in the cover and apron senses it is perhaps from dialect dick meaning a leather apron, or perhaps from Dutch dek meaning a cover. Both of those are marked as guesses in the source, so they are given here as possibilities, not as facts.
資料上說這個名詞來自 Dicky，也就是 Richard 的暱稱；另外補了一句：在「遮蓋、圍裙」這一類意思上，可能來自方言的 dick（皮圍裙），也可能來自荷蘭文的 dek（遮蓋物）。原文對後兩個說法都用了「可能」，所以這裡也只當成可能性，不寫成定論。
