单词 ganyie
释义

ganyien.

Forms: Middle English ganȝe, gaynyhe, 1500s ganye, gan-, geinȝie, genȝie, 1500s–1600s gainyie, gainȝe.
Etymology: Of obscure origin; there was an Irish gainne of similar meaning. Du Cange s.v. Ganeo quotes an undated gloss ‘ganeo..hasta vel jaculum, lingua Gallica’, but the word is not known in Old French. A supposed 14th cent. example often cited (from Alisaunder 292) is probably a mistake; the gamus of the manuscript should probably be corrected into gairus, not into gainus.
Scottish. Obsolete.
An arrow, or similar missile, esp. a crossbow-bolt. In late use chiefly in the alliterative phrase gun and ganyie.
