单词 amarscled
释义

amarscledadj.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: a- prefix1, an element of uncertain origin.
Etymology: Apparently < a- prefix1 + a second element of uncertain origin, perhaps an alteration of or transmission error for: either (a) *mascled spotted ( < mascle n.2 (although this is first attested later) + -ed suffix2; perhaps with reference to the ‘pie’ mentioned in the preceding line, if this is to be interpreted as denoting a magpie: see pie n.1), or (b) maskered, malskred, past participle of masker v. (although that is also first attested later; compare the α. forms at masker v.); perhaps compare later amasked adj.
Obsolete. rare.
Meaning uncertain: perhaps ‘spotted’ or ‘recognized’; perhaps ‘bewildered’.
