Pif Gadget et l\u2019Inspecteur Gadget ont s\u00fbrement berc\u00e9 votre enfance\u00a0! Les gadgets de Pif avec leurs pifises<\/strong> ou leurs pois sauteurs ont occup\u00e9 des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations enti\u00e8res de petits garnements<\/strong>. Mais saviez-vous que le mot gadget, qui \u00e9voque un petit objet ing\u00e9nieux (quoique souvent inutile !), est li\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019histoire de Paris\u00a0<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Le mot gadget est tr\u00e8s jeune<\/strong>, puisqu\u2019il est seulement attest\u00e9 depuis 1886<\/strong>. La m\u00eame ann\u00e9e que l\u2019inauguration de la Statue de la Libert\u00e9<\/strong>.<\/a> Et c\u2019est loin d\u2019\u00eatre une co\u00efncidence\u00a0! Comme tout le monde le sait, la c\u00e9l\u00e8bre sculpture a \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7ue par l\u2019architecte Auguste Bartholdi<\/strong> \u00e0 Paris. Un de ses amis, \u00c9mile Gaget,<\/strong> poss\u00e9dait un atelier de fonderie dans le 17e\u00a0arrondissement<\/strong>, qui a servi \u00e0 la construction de la Statue de la Libert\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\"statue<\/a><\/p>\n

Le jour de l\u2019inauguration<\/strong> \u00e0 New York, monsieur Gaget a offert des miniatures de la sculpture<\/strong>. Au pied des petits objets \u00e9tait grav\u00e9 son nom. Dans l\u2019assembl\u00e9e, le public conquis se demandait \u00ab\u00a0Do you have your Gaget\u00a0?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb. Prononc\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019am\u00e9ricaine, le mot devient phon\u00e9tiquement \u00ab\u00a0gadget\u00a0\u00bb. Ainsi, le patronyme d\u00e9form\u00e9 d\u2019\u00c9mile Gaget est devenu un nom commun<\/strong> tr\u00e8s utilis\u00e9\u00a0!\u00a0M\u00eame si certains ne voient en cette histoire qu\u2019une l\u00e9gende<\/strong> qui n\u2019attesterait pas vraiment de l\u2019origine du mot, on a quand m\u00eame bien envie d\u2019y croire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
