单词 earthgrine
释义

earthgrinen.

Forms: early Middle English erþegrene, early Middle English erþgrene, early Middle English erþgrine.
Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: earth n.1, an element of uncertain origin.
Etymology: < earth n.1 + a second element of uncertain origin; perhaps compare Old High German grīnan to howl, growl, and the related Germanic forms cited at grin v.2, or Old English gnyrran to snarl, gnash, (of the teeth) to chatter (see gnar v.). Compare earlier earthdin n. and also earthquaking n., earthquake n.Compare also Middle English erþgryþe , in the same sense (c1425 in one isolated attestation in a later version of quot. c13252; other versions of the text have forms of earthgrine n. or earthdin n.: see variant readings in quot. c13252), apparently < earth n.1 + a second element of unknown origin, although it may simply show a transmission error.
Obsolete. rare.
An earthquake.
