bigwig一词起源于17世纪,当时正处于戴假发的热潮。剃光头、戴假发成了一种时尚。但是,制作这些假发的头发既稀有又昂贵。头发是按股出售的,下层阶级戴着只有几股头发组成的假发是很常见的,而富人能够购买由数千缕头发组成的大型假发,很快“bigwig”这个词就与非常富有的人联系在一起。随着高顶礼帽的出现,这种时尚很快就消失了,但在英国法庭上看到的大型仪式中,这种时尚依然存在。
香港TVB的电视剧中,常常都能看到律师和法官在法庭上统一带上白色假发套。香港曾长期作为英国的殖民地,司法制度也沿袭英国特色,出庭戴头套根本上遵循的是英国制度。
BBC有一期讲到了Bigwig这个词:

- Don’t you like it?
- Jiaying
- Well, it’s certainly big!
- Neil
- Thanks! I’m wearing it because you said we were talking about the word ‘bigwig’.
- Jiaying
- A big wig? No, not that kind of wig, Neil! I’m talking about an important and powerful person – a bigwig.
- Neil
- Oh, silly me!
- Jiaying
- 名词 “bigwig” 指的是 “重要的人物,大人物”。
- Neil
- So, Jiaying, don’t I look important and powerful in this wig?
- Jiaying
- No – you just look silly. Let’s hear some examples of ‘bigwig’…
