- Why is it called a hutch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023Why a hutch is called that is due to the history of the English language. In Old English, the word for a box or chest is hwiċe or hwiċċe.

- Why is it called Medieval?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The word “medieval” comes from the Latin phrase medium aevum, which means “middle age.” The Middle Ages refer to the era in Europe that lasted from the fifth century to the Renaissance.
- Why is it called a Papasan?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The bowl-shaped papasan chair originated in South East Asia, but it is believed that Americans who first became familiar with the chair during the world wars dubbed it a papasan.

- Why is it called a watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The portable timepiece worn on the wrist is called a watch due to its original purpose.

- Why is it called a credenza?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Why it is called a credenza relates to historic lore about the furniture. In Italian, credenza is a word for “trust” or “belief.” During the 16th century, food and drink was often tested by a servant for a prominent person to see if it contained poison. The sideboard where this tasting took place came to be called a credenza. From there, a cabinet used to hold drinkware, plates and other items became known by the term as well. Although credenzas are now general storage furniture used in homes and offices, the original name remains. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of credenzas.
- What are nightstands called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A nightstand can also be called a bedside table or a daystand.

Shop a collection of nightstands from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Why is it called a lavalier?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The lavalier necklace is believed to be named after Duchess Louise de La Vallière who was the mistress of the King of France, Louis XIV, in the 1600s.

- Why is it called Impressionism?2 Answers1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
The term Impressionism comes from the title of Claude Monet’s painting Impression, Sunrise, from which an art critic derived what he considered an insulting name for the entire movement.
1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021It is called Impressionism because this type of art aims to capture a reflection, or impressionism of real life. Impressionism depicts a visual impression of a moment, paying particular attention to the shifting effect of light and color. - Why is it called a chair?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Why the furniture used for seating is called a chair has to do with the history of language. The word comes from the 13th-century English word chaer, which in turn can be traced back to the Latin word cathedra, meaning seat. If that word reminds you of the word cathedral, it's no accident. The word cathedral gets its name from the fact that a cathedral is where the bishop of a parish has his seat. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023A revolving chair is usually called a swivel chair. Patents for the design of swivel chairs date back to the 19th century, but chairs that spin first became popular in the 1950s. Find a selection of swivel chairs on 1stDibs.
- What is Miu Miu named after?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Miu Miu is named after the fashion house's founder, Miuccia Prada, the youngest granddaughter of Prada founder Mario Prada.
