释义

cockereln.

Brit. /ˈkɒk(ə)rəl/, U.S. /ˈkɑk(ə)rəl/
Forms: late Middle English cokerelle, late Middle English kokerel, late Middle English kokerelle, late Middle English (1500s Scottish) cokrell, 1500s cockrelle, 1500s cokerel, 1500s cokkrell, 1500s–1600s cockerell, 1500s–1700s cockrell, 1500s–1700s cockeril, 1500s–1700s cockrel, 1500s– cockerel, 1600s–1700s cockerill, 1600s cockrill.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French cokerel, kokerel.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman cokerel, kokerel (13th cent.) < cok cock n.1 + -erel -rel suffix; the word is apparently not attested in continental French until much later (French regional (Loire) coquereau). Compare post-classical Latin cokerellus (13th cent. in British sources).Attested earlier as a surname, e.g. Stephen Cokerel (1166), Adam Cokerell (1200), Ricardus Kokerell (1309), etc., although it is unclear whether such examples should be interpreted as reflecting the Anglo-Norman or the Middle English word.
