单词 dickeny
释义

Dickenyadj.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Charles Dickens , -y suffix1.
Etymology: Irregularly < the name of Charles Dickens (see Dickensian adj. and n.) + -y suffix1. Compare earlier Dickensy adj.Omission of the final -s of the name is perhaps motivated by perceptions of euphony, or perhaps results from regarding final -s as not constituting part of the stem of the name. Compare similarly Dickenesque adj.
Obsolete.
Influenced by the writings of Charles Dickens.Apparently an isolated use.
