单词 hudde
释义 I. hud, n.1 Obs. exc. dial.|hʌd|
Also 5–6 ? hudd(e, pl. huddes.
[Origin uncertain.
It has been conjectured to be a dial. form of hood, corresp. to the current pronunc. of blood, flood, and Sc. wud = wood; but against this there are many considerations, connected with the age, use, and locality of the word, its non-interchange with hood in other senses, etc. If it was an (unrecorded) old word, it might be a deriv. of the Teut. root hud-, hūd-, to cover, whence hide vb., hut, and perh. house, husk. In sense hud is identical with MDu. houde ‘tunica, concha, cortex, siliqua, calyx, et spica’, cf. boon-houde bean-hull (Kilian); but this is a deriv. of houden, to hold.]
The husk or sheath of a seed; the hull or shell of a fruit; a pod or seed-vessel; fig. an empty person who has ‘nothing in him’. (See also quot. 1893.)

II. hud, hood, n.2 north. dial.|hʌd, hʊd|
Also 7 hudd(e, 8 hod.
[Of uncertain origin and history. It is not certain that senses 1 and 2 are the same word.
Evidently distinct from hud n.1 Hude, in sense 1, quot. 1483, might be, as to form, northern for hood, with which also Kennett and Craven Dial. identify sense 2; but it is difficult to see any connexion of sense.]
