在中世纪,在册封骑士时要举行隆重的仪式,仪式的具体形式据说有好多种。历史学家“图尔的乔治”写道早期法国国王在册封骑士时,会亲吻骑士的左面颊。据说“征服者威廉”在册封骑士时,会用拳头轻轻击打骑士的面颊或脖子,而最常见的形式是用剑的平面轻拍骑士的肩膀。英语单词accolade就源自这种册封仪式,它来自拉丁语accollare,意思是“embrace around the neck”(拥抱脖子),由ad(to)+collum(neck)构成。英语单词collar(领口)就来自拉丁语collum。看来不管是哪种形式,册封仪式都会涉及到脖子。在现代,给冠军颁奖时,颁奖人员把奖牌挂在冠军的脖子上,或者抱着冠军的脖子亲吻面颊,可能也跟中世纪册封骑士的仪式有关。

小知识
A knight being honored with the tap of a sword-blade was the earliest form of accolade. Today, an accolade is more than a way to bestow knighthood, it is a form of praise or an award.
In the early 17th century, the French accoler meant to “embrace the neck,” which was done as part of a knighthood ceremony. By the 19th century, accolade came to mean “award.” A person who achieves a goal in research or service may receive an official paper certificate or trophy, an accolade of achievement, while a performer or speaker might get an accolade in the form of applause from the audience. Rarely does either of these types of accolade involve a sword.
