中文词源
upholster 布置，装潢，为椅子装软垫等
来自uphold, 支持，维护，-ster, 人。引申词义布置，维修，为椅子装软垫等。
助记提示
1. unhold 含有“支持、维护、维修”之意，由此 upholder / upholdster / upholdester 用来特指“家具维修工，家具维修、维护商”，后来在 upholdster 的基础上再加后缀 -er 形成 upholdsterer, 以及由其简化、缩略而形成的异体 upholsterer, 用以指“家具装饰用品商；室内装潢商”，后来又在 upholsterer 的基础上逆构出动词 upholster, 用以表示“为(家具等)装上套、垫或弹簧等，为(房间)装设地毯、帘幕等”。
2. 因此，要注意该词与 holster 毫无关系。
2. 因此，要注意该词与 holster 毫无关系。

英文词源
- upholster
- upholster: [19] Upholster has no etymological connection with holsters. It is a back-formation from upholsterer [17], which itself was derived from an earlier but now obsolete upholster ‘person who deals in or repairs small articles’. This was an agent noun formed from the verb uphold [13] (a compound of up and hold), in the now defunct sense ‘repair’.
=> hold - upholster (v.)
- 1853, back-formation from upholsterer. Related: Upholstered; upholstering.
