单词 | dingle |
释义 | dinglen. 1. A deep place; an abyss. Apparently only in sea dingle. rare (archaic or literary in later use).In quot. c1225 translating use of post-classical Latin abyssus (abyss n.) in Psalm 36:6 (35:7 in the Vulgate) in reference to the depths of the sea, perhaps choosing dingle for alliteration. Quots. c1931 and 1967 represent isolated later uses by authors familiar with quot. c1225, with Auden consciously echoing the whole line and Tolkien using sea dingle in the same sense but without direct allusion.

Also (chiefly English regional (northern)): a narrow, steep-sided ravine between hills; a clough (clough n. 1).Use specifically in reference to a valley or hollow which is shaded or surrounded by trees is common in poetic and literary contexts, perhaps influenced by Milton (see quot. 1637).
