单词 gizzard
释义

gizzardn.

Brit. /ˈɡɪzəd/, U.S. /ˈɡɪzərd/
Forms: α. Middle English, 1500s giser, Middle English gyser, gysour, gysowr, guysyer, 1500s–1600s gysar, (1600s gesier, gizier, gizzar). β. 1500s guisard, guysard, 1500s–1600s gysard(e, 1600s–1700s gizard, 1700s ghizzard, 1600s, 1800s dialect gisard, 1600s– gizzard. See also gizzern n.
Etymology: < Old French giser, gezier, juisier, jugier, also guiser, gizzard, modern French gésier, commonly explained as < popular Latin *gicerium = Latin gigeria neuter plural, the cooked entrails of a fowl. The final d of the β-forms is parallel to that of 16th cent. garnerd for garner, and the nonstandard scholard for scholar. The pronunciation with (g) seems to come from the unexplained Old French form guiser (Godefroy Compl.).
