单词 fetlock
释义

fetlockn.

Brit. /ˈfɛtlɒk/, U.S. /ˈfɛtˌlɑk/
Forms: Middle English feetlakk, Middle English fet(e)lak, Middle English fytlo(c)k, (1600s fitlock), 1500s, 1700s, 1800s foot(e)lock, (1500s fotelocke), 1500s fete-, 1600s feetlock, 1500s– fetlock.
Etymology: Middle English fetlak , fytlok , corresponding to Middle High German fiz̧lach , viszlach (modern German fiszloch ); the formation is obscure; connection with German fessel pastern has been suggested. The word was early interpreted as < foot n. and int. + lock n.1 (of hair), and this notion has influenced the spelling of some of the forms. Sense 2 is due to confusion with fetterlock n.
1.
a. That part of a horse's leg where the tuft of hair grows behind the pastern-joint; the tuft itself.
