เรื่องเล่าHow the word got in
Tahiti, 1769 — tatau becomes tattoo
ค.ศ. 1,769 – ค.ศ. 1,774 · Cook's first voyage, and Mai in London
คืออะไร
ภาษาอังกฤษไม่มีคำเดียวสำหรับสิ่งนี้ จนลูกเรือของคุกนำคำกลับมาจากโพลินีเซีย
ฉบับยาว
Tatau went into English as tattoo and swallowed everything else. Every tradition on this site is now described in English with a Samoan word, including the ones that had their own perfectly good nouns: irezumi, godna, deq, kakiniq, sak.
Inference — that is not only a linguistic accident. It is why the English-language record treats Pacific tattooing as the default case and everything else as a variation on it, and it is visible in the coverage count on this site: the traditions with the most language editions written about them are mostly the ones the eighteenth-century voyages reached first.
