单词 eye-bree
释义

eye-breen.

Brit. /ˈʌɪbriː/, U.S. /ˈaɪˌbri/, Scottish English /ˈaɪbri/
Forms: see eye n.1 and bree n.1; also Scottish (Roxburghshire) 1900s– een-breen (plural).
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: eye n.1, bree n.1
Etymology: < eye n.1 + bree n.1 Compare Old Frisian āch-brē eyebrow, eyelid.The Scots regional (Roxburghshire) form een-breen may show pluralization of both elements of the compound (compare plural α. forms at eye n.1), although with the second element perhaps compare bryn n.2
Now rare (Scottish and English regional (northern) in later use).
1. = eyelid n. Obsolete.In quot. 1814 apparently used more vaguely of the eyes.
