单词 cloyne
释义

cloynecloinev.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Phonetically, cloyne answers exactly to Old French cluigner , clugner variant of cligner ‘to bring together the upper and lower eyelids so as to leave a very small interval between them,’ often to ‘wink’, as the expression of secret understanding, cunning, or hypocrisy, as in ‘clignement d'œil, œil d'hypocrite’ (Paré, 16th cent., in Littré). From this to sense 1 appears to be an easy transition. (Compare the history of connive.)
Obsolete.
1. intransitive. To act deceitfully or fraudulently, to cheat, deceive.
