单词 | ensample |
释义 | ensamplen. archaic. = example n. in various senses.The mod. archaistic use is almost wholly due to reminiscence of the passages in which the word occurs in the New Testament. In four of these passages it is used in sense 2, and is retained unaltered in the Revised Version; in the remaining two it has the sense 3, and has in the Revised Version been replaced by example. 1. a.
