单词 almonry
释义

almonryn.

Brit. /ˈɑː(l)mənri/, /ˈalmənri/, /ˈɒlmənri/, U.S. /ˈæ(l)mənri/, /ˈɑ(l)mənri/
Forms:

α. late Middle English awmebry, late Middle English awmerie, late Middle English awmery, 1500s almory, 1500s almorye, 1500s 1700s–1800s almery, 1600s ambre, 1700s ambery, 1700s ambry.

β. late Middle English almonesrye (probably transmission error), late Middle English awmenery, 1500s aumenerie, 1600s almnary, 1600s almnery, 1600s– almonry.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French aumonerie.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman aumonrie, aumonorie, almoignerie, almoynrye, aumosnerie and Middle French aumonerie (12th cent. in Old French as aumosnerie ; French aumônerie ) < almosne alms n. + -erie -ery suffix. Compare post-classical Latin elemosinaria (also elemosinarium) office of or place for distributing alms (frequently from 12th cent. in British and continental sources), also almoneria, almosneria (13th cent. in British sources).Earlier currency may be implied by the surname Nicholaus del Aumonerie (1265), although this more probably reflects the Anglo-Norman word. Compare also Rogerus de Aumery (1279), although this could alternatively reflect aumbry n. or its etymon; Robertus Aumary (1224) could also reflect any of these, or could reflect a personal name. The α. forms apparently show either reduced forms or remodelling after alms n., with early forms in -b- apparently showing an excrescent consonant (compare similar forms of almoner n.2), although later instances may alternatively result from folk-etymological association with aumbry n. Compare also place names such as le Amery (1440, Cheshire), the Amery (1539, Gloucestershire), the Aumorie (Westminster, 1494; 1593 as the Amnerie). The form almonesrye probably shows an error for (unrecorded) almosnerye. N.E.D. (1884) gives only the pronunciation (æ·lmŏnri) /ˈælmənrɪ/.
