单词 fly-boat
释义

fly-boatn.

Brit. /ˈflʌɪbəʊt/, U.S. /ˈflaɪˌboʊt/
Forms: 1500s flie-bote, flee-boate, flibote, 1600s fly(e)boate(e, 1600s– fly-boat.
Etymology: apparently < Dutch vlieboot, originally denoting one of the small boats used on the Vlie or channel leading out of the Zuyder Zee, afterwards applied in ridicule to the small vessels used against the Spaniards by the Gueux de mer (1572); the word has passed into several European languages: French flibot , Spanish flibote , German flieboot . But in English it was very early associated with fly v.1 4. Sense 3, belonging especially to Shetland, may be a distinct word, representing Old Norse fley; compare Old Northumbrian flœ́ge, perhaps adopted < Old Norse.
1. A fast-sailing vessel used chiefly in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries:
a. for rapid transport of goods, etc., esp. in the coasting trade; Obsolete exc. spec. a Dutch flat-bottomed boat; = flight n.1 12a.
