mazurka

节奏轻快的波兰舞，由四对或八对舞伴参加。来自波兰语mazurek,来自Mazur的舞蹈。Mazur为波兰中部古地名，现拼做Mazowsze.

mazurka (n.)

lively dance, also mazourka, 1818, from Russian mazurka, from Polish mazurek "dance of the Mazur," a reference to inhabitants of Mazowsze (Medieval Latin Mazovia), ancient region in central Poland. The Polish accusative in tańczyć mazurka "to dance the mazurek" was interpreted in Russian as a feminine affix, hence the -ka ending.
