A toque (〔http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/toque〕 or is a type of hat with a narrow brim or no brim at all.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Definition of Toque )〕 They were popular from the 13th to the 16th century in Europe, especially France. Now it is primarily known as the traditional headgear for professional cooks, except in Canada where the term is primarily used for knit caps.〔 == Etymology == The word toque is Breton for "hat". The spelling with the "que" is Middle Breton, and Modern Breton is spelled tok. Old Breton spells the word toc. The word was borrowed into the French language both for the chef's uniform and the knit cap. The word toque is Arabic "طوق" for "round" and "طاقية" "taqia" for "hat" originally for something "round" that has an opening. The word has been known in English since 1505. It came through the Medieval French toque (15th century), presumably by the way of the Spanish ''toca'' "woman's headdress", from Arabic *''taqa'' 'طاقة' for "opening".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=toque (n.) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「toque」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
