QUÉ SIGNIFICA ACE EN INGLÉS

As

Ace

Un as es una carta. En la cubierta francesa estándar, un as tiene un símbolo del juego individual situado en el centro de la tarjeta, a veces grande y adornado, especialmente en el caso del as de espadas. Este adorno en el As de espadas comenzó cuando el rey James VI de Escocia y yo de Inglaterra requirió una insignia de la imprenta para ser impreso en el As de espadas. Esta insignia era necesaria para identificar la imprenta y sellarla como pagando el nuevo impuesto. Aunque este requisito se abolió en 1960, la tradición ha sido mantenida por muchos fabricantes de tarjetas. La palabra "as" viene de la palabra francesa vieja "como" que significa "una unidad", del nombre de una pequeña moneda romana. Originalmente significaba el lado de los dados con una sola marca, antes de que fuera un término para una tarjeta de juego. Puesto que éste era el rodillo más bajo del dado, tradicionalmente significó la "mala suerte" en inglés medio, pero como el as es a menudo la tarjeta que juega más alta, su significado ha cambiado para significar entonces la "alta calidad, excelencia". Esta connotación ha visto la palabra aplicada a un saque de tenis inalcanzable, un piloto de combate exitoso y, más generalmente, como una persona competente en su campo, especialmente un campo deportivo.

An ace is a playing card. In the standard French deck, an ace has a single suit symbol located in the middle of the card, sometimes large and decorated, especially in the case of the Ace of Spades. This embellishment on the Ace of Spades started when King James VI of Scotland and I of England required an insignia of the printing house to be printed on the Ace of Spades. This insignia was necessary for identifying the printing house and stamping it as having paid the new tax. Although this requirement was abolished in 1960, the tradition has been kept by many card makers. The word "ace" comes from the Old French word 'as' meaning 'a unit', from the name of a small Roman coin. It originally meant the side of dice with only one mark, before it was a term for a playing card. Since this was the lowest roll of the die, it traditionally meant 'bad luck' in Middle English, but as the ace is often the highest playing card, its meaning has since changed to mean 'high-quality, excellence'. This connotation has seen the word applied to an unreachable tennis serve, a successful fighter pilot and more generally as a person proficient in their field, especially a sporting field.
