单词 cohob
释义

cohobn.

Forms: Also cohoph.
Etymology: Origin uncertain: it may be the root of cohobate v., or merely a contraction of cohobation. An Arabic derivation is suspected. There is a Semitic root kaʿab, which has in Ethiopic the sense ‘second’, with a derivative verb ‘to double, repeat’; this may have occurred in a vulgar Arabic dialect. The suggestion in Littré, of Arabic kuhbat ‘dust colour mixed with black’ does not explain the sense.
Obsolete. Medicine.

‘A Paracelsian term, intended to mean repetition; thus medicines given according to cohob, signified that they were administered with unchanging perseverance’ (Mayne Expos. Lexicon Med. Sci. 1850–60).
