Picture a long flat band laid across the front of something, closing off the edge and covering what is behind it. A shop has one above the door with its name on it. A car has one across the front of the driver, full of dials. A house has one along the roof edge, with the gutter hanging from it. Inside the body, the same shape goes right around a muscle. Every use is one flat strip, wrapped over a face.

可以想成一條長長的扁平帶子,橫過某個東西的正面,把邊收乾淨、也把裡面蓋起來。店面在門上方有一條,寫著店名。車子在駕駛前面有一整片,上面全是儀表。房子在屋簷邊有一塊長板,天溝就掛在上面。身體裡也是同一個形狀,只是那條帶子繞著肌肉包了一圈。這幾個意思,都可以看成同一件事:一條扁平的帶子蓋在一個面上。

From the word’s history

The source says the word was borrowed from Latin fascia, a band, bandage or swathe, and is related to fasces, a bundle of rods bound together. A bandage is exactly a long flat strip wrapped over something, which is the shape all the modern uses keep.

來源資料說這個字借自拉丁文 fascia,意思是「帶子、繃帶、裹布」,並且跟 fasces(綁成一束的棍子)有關。繃帶就是一條長長的扁平帶子纏在東西上,而現在的每一個意思都還留著這個形狀。
