chevronnoun

hình chữ V

/ˈʃevrən//ˈʃevrən/

The word "chevron," which is commonly used in the context of geometric designs and patterns, has its roots in the French language. The term "chevron" originated in the medieval French word "chevronné," which translates to "v-shaped" in English. This old French term was used to describe the shape of the tips of arrow feathers that were arranged in a v-shaped pattern on a warrior's quiver (a container for arrows). In the 19th century, the term "chevron" came to be associated with military uniforms, where it was used to describe the v-shaped, diamond-patterned elements on the epaulets and collars of officers' uniforms. Today, the word "chevron" is widely used in various fields, including architecture, engineering, and fashion, to describe V-shaped patterns and designs.
