英语词汇“five brothers”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

11. Any of the five sepals of the calyx (calyx n. 1a) of certain roses, esp. the dog rose. Chiefly in five brothers (of the rose) and variants, with reference to a riddle (see note and e.g. quot. 1876). [In later use translating or referring to a post-classical Latin riddle (1732 or earlier; see quots. a1807, 1876 for examples of English versions) which was based on a much earlier verse recorded in a printed edition (1521) of the Repertorium morale of Pierre Bersuire (c1290–1362): Fratres sunt quinque: medius partitur vtrinque: Sunt duo barbati, sine barba sunt duo nati ‘There are five brothers: the middle one is shared on both sides. Two are bearded, two were born without beards’. The verse is sometimes attributed to Albertus Magnus, who first described the structure of the calyx of the rose, but it is not included in his description.]
