单词 aleys
释义

aleysn.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French alie.
Etymology: < the plural of Anglo-Norman and Middle French alie (1153 in Old French; French (now regional) alie ; the standard French word is alise : see below), probably < an unattested Gaulish formation (with different suffix) < the Indo-European base of alder n.1, the various cognates of that word denoting sometimes the alder, sometimes the wild service tree or its fruit (see further Trésor de la langue française at alise).French alise (a1183 in Anglo-Norman as alis , masculine noun, c1200 in Old French as feminine noun, both denoting the berry; a1210 denoting the tree) derives < an unattested by-form (with different suffix) of the Gaulish word. The form aleis cited by N.E.D. (1884) as a variant reading in quot. a1425 appears to have been taken from a modern edition and has not been verified in any contemporary source.
Obsolete. rare.
The bitter fruit of the wild service tree, Sorbus torminalis.
