单词 corver
释义

corvern.1

Etymology: < Middle Dutch corver a fisherman, and fishing ship (of some kind): compare the phrase te corve varen to go a fishing in a korfscip; korfharinck a herring (of some kind), korfmarct the market where the fish were sold. Of uncertain origin: possibly < corf, korf basket: the only sense of korver in Kilian is ‘cistifer, cistam seu corbem ferens, corbulo’ = basket-man, basket-carrier. But this does not well explain the phrase te corve varen.
Obsolete.
A kind of Dutch herring-fisher and fishing-boat.
