释义

cuttlen.1

/ˈkʌt(ə)l/
Forms: Old English cudele, Middle English codel, ( codelynge), codull(e, cotul(l, 1500s–1600s cuttell, (1600s cudle, cuttel, cuddell, 1800s dialect coodle, cuddle), 1500s– cuttle; also 1500s scuttel, 1600s–1700s scuttle n.4
Etymology: Old English cudele, also in Old Low-Frankish, c1100 (Grimm); of unknown derivation. The original form survives in the dialectal cuddle, coodle; cuttle appeared about 1500. Compare German kuttel-fisch, perhaps < English.
a.
(a) A cephalopod of the genus Sepia or family Sepiidæ, esp. the common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, also called ink-fish from its power of ejecting a black fluid from a bag or sac, so as to darken the water and conceal itself from pursuit. Thence the name is extended to other decapod, and sometimes even to octopod, cephalopods.

First, a small portion is doubled, then another upon it (not round it), and so on until it is all doubled up; finally wrap the end, left first or last, round all. The reasons for adopting this mode are, that the cloth is supposed to keep best; it is easier to unfold for show purposes; it piles best.
