释义

closhn.1

Forms: Middle English cloishe, Middle English–1500s closshe, cloysh(e, 1500s clashe, classhe, claish(e, claisshe, clayshe, 1500s–1600s closhe, 1500s– closh.
Etymology: < Flemish and Dutch klos bowl (for playing). Kilian has klos, globus, sphæra, klos-bane sphæristerium, klos-beytel flagellum, vola, klos-poorte annulus sphæristerii, klossen ludere sphæra, ludere globo per annulum; Plantin (1573) has klos une boule, klos-bane parc à bouler, klos-poorte une porte à bouler, anneau de fer à passer la boule, klossen bouler, jouer à la boule par travers un anneau de fer. These terms still occur in Dutch Dictionaries, though the game appears to be obsolete in Holland.
Obsolete.
An obsolete game with a ball or bowl, prohibited in many successive statutes in the 15th–16th centuries. It was obsolete before the time of Cowell (1554–1611), who supposed it to be equivalent to ninepins or skittles. From the 16th cent. Dutch lexicographers and Dutch descriptions, it appears that the bowl used in the game had to be driven by a spade- or chisel-shaped implement, the klos-beytel, through a hoop or ring, as in croquet.
