单词 devilshine
释义

devilshinen.

Brit. /ˈdɛvlʃʌɪn/, U.S. /ˈdɛv(ə)lˌʃaɪn/
Forms: Old English deofolscin, Old English deofolscinn- (inflected form), Middle English deofellshine ( Ormulum), Middle English deuelschine, Middle English deuelshene, 1900s– devilshine.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: devil n., English scinn , scīn , shine n.1
Etymology: < devil n. + Old English scinn (also scīn) spectre, illusion, phantom, evil spirit (apparently < a form of the Germanic base of shine v. ; compare shine n.1). In recent use probably reinterpreted as < devil n. + shine n.1With the second element compare (with long stem vowel) Old High German gescīn phantom, apparition, giscīnan to show oneself, appear, to be white. The existence of a by-form of the second element with long stem vowel in Old English in the relevant sense has sometimes been disputed; however, the later forms appear to reflect this. With the short stem vowel (and geminate -nn- ) of Old English scinn compare Scandinavian nouns derived from the same Germanic base, as e.g. Old Icelandic skin shine, sheen, shining, which show the zero-grade. With the semantic development compare also Old High German scīn ray (of light) (see shine n.1) alongside scīna act of shining, apparition, revelation.
