Polish term
bakenbardy
Polish to English
Art/Literary
Linguistics
bakenbardy (niem.) = bokobrody, zarost. Jak mozna przetlumaczyc powyzsze wyrazenie, zachowujac w angielskim taka sama "obcosc w brzmieniu" jak ma to miejsce w polskim jezyku (po pierwsze niemeckie pochodzenie słowa; po drugie - polski czytelnik niekoniecznie musi wiedziec ze "bakenbardy" oznacza po prostu zarost) .

sideburns
Sideburns (known colloquially as side-whiskers, or sideboards[1] in the United Kingdom) are patches of facial hair grown on the sides of a man's face, in front of the ears. The term “sideburns” is a 19th century bastardization of the original burnsides, named after Ambrose Burnside[2], a man known for his unusual facial hairstyle that connected thick sideburns by way of a moustache but left the chin clean-shaven.
