单词 dongola
释义

dongolan.1

Origin: Apparently from a proper name. Etymon: proper name Dongola.
Etymology: Apparently < Dongola (Arabic Dunqulā ), the name of a town in northern Sudan (see Dongola n.2).Originally with allusion to the British Nile expedition of 1884–5 to relieve General Gordon, whose troops were besieged by the Mahdists in Khartoum. The expeditionary force proceeded up the Nile from Wadi Halfa in a flotilla of 400 specially commissioned flat-bottomed boats (each containing a maximum of twelve men, and propelled by oars and sails), and halted at Dongola for three weeks in November 1884 before moving on to Khartoum. An alternative suggestion that the word is a fanciful alteration of gondola n. is highly unlikely.
In dongola race: a race in which a punt or the like is propelled by paddling, by three or four pairs (usually male and female).
