Caquetoire (English spelling)

Japanese: カクトアール(英語表記)caquetoire
Caquetoire (English spelling)
An armchair made in France in the late 16th century. The seat is trapezoidal with a widened front and a long, narrow back so that even upper-class ladies wearing large, flowing skirts could sit comfortably. The four legs are also connected by a crossbar at the bottom. In England, there is the Farthingale chair, which was invented with a similar idea, but it differs in that it has no armrests. ◇The name comes from the French word "caqueter," which means "to chat."

Japanese:
16世紀後半のフランスで作られた肘(ひじ)掛け椅子(いす)。上流婦人の大きく張ったスカートでも座りやすいように、座面が前方の広がった台形になっていて、背板は細長い。また、4本の脚は下が横木でつながっている。イギリスでは同じような意図で考案された椅子としてファージンゲールチェアがあるが、肘掛けがないのが異なる。◇フランス語で「おしゃべりをする」の意の「カクテ(caqueter)」に由来。
