单词 charet
释义

charetcharetten.

Forms: Middle English charrette, charotte, Middle English–1500s charett, Middle English–1600s charette, (1500s chearette, chairette), 1500s–1600s charet, charret.
Etymology: < Old French charrette, (charete ) wagon, cart, diminutive of Old French charre car n.1 (probably of Romanic age: compare Italian and medieval Latin carretta, Spanish carreta, Provençal carreta). In modern French charrette is a two-wheeled vehicle with two shafts, while chariot is four-wheeled. This distinction may be historical, and may have existed originally in English also; but here, after the shifting of the stress to the first syllable, and consequent obscuration of the termination, charet(te and chariot were confounded and treated as synonymous; and the former became obsolete before the middle of the 17th cent., though it virtually survived as a pronunciation of chariot till the 19th cent. With six exceptions charet occurs uniformly in the Bible of 1611, but has been everywhere changed in later editions to chariot.
Obsolete.
A wheeled vehicle or conveyance.
a. for persons or goods; a carriage, chariot, cart, wagon, etc.

Draft additions March 2007

Chiefly North American (originally Architecture). A period of intense (group) work, typically undertaken in order to meet a deadline. Also: a collaborative workshop focusing on a particular problem or project; (Town Planning) a public meeting or conference devoted to discussion of a proposed community building project. [Probably originally with reference to the former custom among French architecture students of using a cart to carry their work on the day of an exhibition: see Trésor de la Langue Française at charrette.]
