短释义
When you see the word antique, you know you’re not going to hear about anything new or young. An antique is a nice, old piece of furniture, that’s usually been well taken care of and costs more than something new. Shopping for antiques is called antiquing. Outside of antique shops, calling anything antique means it’s out-of-date and useless — so if you wanted to be mean, you could call your grandparents antiques.
古董是一种老式的东西,就像六十年代的灯一样。任何古董都是旧的,或者至少是旧的。

当您看到“古董”这个词时,您就知道您不会听到任何新的或年轻的东西。古董是一件漂亮的旧家具,通常保养得很好,而且比新家具更贵。购买古董称为古董。在古董店之外,称任何东西为古董都意味着它已经过时且无用——所以如果你想刻薄一点,你可以称你的祖父母为古董。

词源

Originally pronounced in English like its doublet antic, but French pronunciation and spelling were adopted in English from c. 1700. The meaning “not modern” is from 1640s. Related: Antiqueness.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
古董(adj.)1530年代,“年老的,令人尊敬的;” 1540年代,“存在于远古时代”,源自法语antique“老”(14c.),源自拉丁语antiquus(后来的anticus)“古代的,以前的,旧时代的;古老的,长期存在的,年老的;可敬的;老式的,” 源自 PIE *anti- “之前”(源自词根 *ant- “前面、前额”,派生词意思是“在前面、之前”)+ *okw- “看到”。最初在英语中发音,就像它的双连体滑稽动作一样,但法语发音和拼写从公元 1970 年开始被英语采用。 1700。“非现代”的意思来自1640年代。相关:古董。相关条目及更多
