Two flat panels leaning towards each other and meeting at a point.

可以想成兩片平面斜斜地靠向對方,在頂端碰在一起。主教冠是這樣:前後兩片立起來,往上收成一個尖。木工的斜接也是這樣:兩個斜面各切一半,靠在一起收成一個角。把這兩個意思擺在同一個畫面裡只是好記,不是說後面那個是從前面那個長出來的——手上的資料只證明兩者同拼法、同字源,沒有交代木工用法怎麼接上去。

From the word’s history

From Middle English mytre, from Old French mitre, from Ancient Greek mitra, a headband or turban — something wound or set on the head.

這個字從中古英文 mytre 來,再往前是古法文 mitre,最早是古希臘文 μίτρα(mítra),意思是「頭帶、纏頭巾」。所以字源指的是頭上的東西,這條線直接通到主教冠。順帶一提,資料裡還記著一枚十三世紀的偽幣也叫 mitre,原因是幣面上打了主教冠的印記——那是從帽子借名字,不是另一個來源。
