Pitcher (container)
In US English, a pitcher is a container with a spout used for storing and pouring contents which are liquid in form. Generally a pitcher also has a handle, which makes pouring easier. A ewer is a vase-shaped pitcher, often decorated, with a base and a flaring spout, though the word is now unusual in informal English describing ordinary domestic vessels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ewer )〕 An example of a ewer is the America's Cup given to the winner of the America's Cup sailing regatta match.〔An overall account can be found the book by 〕 In English speaking countries outside North America, a jug is any container with a handle and a mouth and spout for liquid—American "pitchers" are more likely to be called jugs elsewhere.
== Etymology ==
The word "pitcher" comes from the 13th century Middle English word ''picher'', which means earthen jug.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pitcher )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pitcher )〕 The word ''picher'' is linked to the Old French word ''pichier'' which is the altered version of the word ''bichier'', meaning drinking cup.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pitcher )〕 The pitcher’s origin goes as far back to the Medieval Latin word ''bicarium'' from the Greek word ''bikos'', which meant earthen vessel. Compare with Dutch ''beker'', German ''Becher'' and English ''beaker''.
