ETIMOLOGÍA DE LA PALABRA LAY FIGURE
From obsolete layman, from Dutch leeman, literally: joint-man.
QUÉ SIGNIFICA LAY FIGURE EN INGLÉS
Maniquí
Un maniquí es una muñeca a menudo articulada utilizada por los artistas, sastres, modistas, vendedores de ventanas y otros especialmente para mostrar o adaptarse a la ropa. El término también se utiliza para las muñecas de tamaño natural con las vías respiratorias simuladas utilizadas en la enseñanza de los primeros auxilios, CPR, y habilidades avanzadas de la gerencia de la vía aérea tales como la intubación traqueal y para las figuras humanas usadas en la simulación de computadora para modelar el comportamiento del cuerpo humano. Durante la década de 1950, los maniquíes se utilizaron en pruebas nucleares para ayudar a mostrar los efectos de las armas nucleares en los seres humanos. Mannequin viene de la palabra francesa maniquí, que había adquirido el significado de "modelo de un artista articulado", que a su vez procedía de la palabra holandesa media manneken, que significa "hombre pequeño, figurilla".
