单词 | cloffing |
释义 | † cloffingn. Obsolete. A plant: see quots. Cockayne understood the Old English name to mean Ranunculus sceleratus; which is probable, since both clufþung and clufwyrt are glossed by Batrachion, an old name of Ranunculus. But the Middle English name seems to mean a hellebore, as in Halliwell's modern entry.
