单词 equerry
释义

equerryn.

Brit. /ˈɛkwəri/, /ᵻˈkwɛri/, /ɪˈkwɛri/, U.S. /ˈɛkwəri/, /əˈkwɛri/, /iˈkwɛri/, /ɛˈkwɛri/
Forms: α. 1500s esquiry(e, 1600s escuirie, 1700s escurie. β. 1500s equirrie, 1600s equerie, 1600s–1800s equery, 1600s– equerry. γ. aphetic1500s–1700s query, querry, quiry, quirry (1500s–1600s cuirie).
Etymology: < French écurie, earlier escurie (also escuierie , by erroneous association with escuyer esquire n.1), medieval Latin scūria stable, < Old High German scûr shed, shelter (whence sciura, Middle High German schiure, modern German scheuer barn). The surviving English form is due to an erroneous idea of some connection with Latin equus horse; the accentuation on the first syllable, favoured by most dictionaries of the 19th cent., is due to the same cause.
1. The stables belonging to a royal or princely household; the body of officers in charge of the stables. Obsolete.
