One way to hold this word: a name that keeps sliding along the table. It starts as a bottle — an Italian brand of called Martini. Then it names the cold, strong drink mixed from that with gin or vodka. Then the narrow, cone-shaped glass becomes so famous that the glass alone carries the name, and almost anything poured into it gets called a martini too.
From the word’s history
Wiktionary records that Martini is an Italian name used by the vermouth company Martini & Rossi, and that the cocktail name was coined in America in the 19th or 20th century, with several competing explanations — perhaps the vermouth brand, perhaps the town of Martinez in California, perhaps a bartender of that name.
來源證據指出:Martini 是義大利姓氏,苦艾酒公司 Martini & Rossi 用它當品牌名;而「調酒」這個意思是十九或二十世紀在美國出現的,說法不只一種——可能來自這個苦艾酒品牌,可能來自加州的 Martinez,也可能來自某位姓 Martini 的調酒師。哪一種都還沒有定論。
