dresser
nounA dresser can be pictured as a piece of furniture that stands against a wall and keeps your everyday things laid out ready for use. In a British kitchen, the plates and cups sit on open shelves where you can see them. In an American bedroom, the clothes sit in drawers and the small things sit on the flat top, often under a mirror. The shared picture is a standing place where things are arranged and waiting.
From the word’s history
The furniture sense comes through Middle English dressure from Old French drecëur, formed on the verb dresser (to arrange, to set out). The oldest English use recorded by the source is a table or bench on which meat and other things were dressed, that is, prepared. A surface where things were made ready grew into a cupboard where they are kept ready.
家具的意思來自中古英語 dressure,再往前是古法文 drecëur,跟動詞 dresser(擺放、整理)同一條線。來源裡也記著一個較舊的用法:dresser 曾經指廚房裡處理肉類、備料的檯子。從「備料的檯面」長成「把東西擺好收好的櫃子」,這條線是看得出來的。

A second word, same spelling
dresser
nounThis dresser is a person, built from dress plus -er: the one who does the dressing. Who gets dressed is what makes the meanings differ. If it is yourself, the word describes the way you dress. If it is someone else, the word names a job: getting an actor into a costume, or laying out clothes in a grand household. And if what gets dressed is a wound rather than a body, the word names the hospital who cleans and it.
From the word’s history
The source gives this dresser a separate etymology from the furniture word: Middle English dresser, equivalent to dress plus -er. So the person senses are built on the English verb dress with the ordinary agent ending.
來源把這組意思和家具的 dresser 分成兩條不同的字源:這裡是中古英語 dresser,等於 dress 加上 -er。也就是說,這些意思都是直接從英文動詞 dress 加上「做這件事的人」的字尾長出來的。
