单词 charterhouse
释义

Charterhousen.

Brit. /ˈtʃɑːtəhaʊs/, U.S. /ˈtʃɑrdərˌhaʊs/
Forms: Also (in sense 3) 1600s chartrous.
Etymology: An alteration, by popular etymology, of Anglo-Norman chartrouse = French chartreuse , i.e. maison chartreuse Carthusian house. (But, in sense 3 really corresponding to the masculine French chartreux , Anglo-Norman chartrous , which is preserved in quot. 1641 at sense 3.) Old French chartreus , -euse (Anglo-Norman -ous , -ouse ) was itself a corruption of an earlier form charteus , -euse (Anglo-Norman chartous , charthous , -ouse , compare Italian certosa ) representing Latin cartusius , carthusius : see Carthusian adj. and n. This earlier form was also used in English as chartous , Charthous n.The popular understanding of chartrouse as chart(e)r-(h)ouse, was of course helped by the fact that the meaning was Carthusian ‘house,’ maison chartreuse. The earlier corruption of charteus, -ous to chartreus, -rous, was apparently one of French popular etymology, and probably due to association with chartre prison, suggested by the rigid confinement and severe discipline of the order.
