单词 glade
释义

gladen.1

Etymology: Perhaps of Scandinavian origin: compare Swedish dialect (Rietz) gladas , gla(d)na , to set (of the sun; also sola ä gladder the sun has just set), Norwegian dialect gla to set (of sun and moon); Swedish sol-gla(d)ning , Norwegian solaglad sunset = Old Norse sólarglaðan , found only in Hervarar Saga (ed. 1847) p. 15, where nær sólarglaðan of the prose corresponds to við sólarsetri in the verses. Etymological connection with glad adj. is possible.
Obsolete.
to go to glade: to set, sink to rest (said of the sun).

gladen.2

Brit. /ɡleɪd/, U.S. /ɡleɪd/
Forms: Also 1500s gleade.
Etymology: Of obscure origin. If the primary sense be ‘sunny place’, the word may be connected with glad adj. (sense 1); compare Swedish dialect glänna ‘1. sunny spot; 2. open place in a wood’ (Rietz). But difficulties are created by the occurrence of the form glode n., which seems to be equivalent (compare the place-name Cockglode in Nottinghamshire with sense 1b below). Conceivably glade , glode might represent respectively northern and midland forms of an Old English *gláda weak masculine, < *glaidon- , < root *glai- : see gleam n. There is, however, no indication that the word is specially northern.
1.
a. A clear open space or passage in a wood or forest, whether natural or produced by the cutting down of trees.The earlier examples often explain the word as meaning a light or sunny place. From the latter part of the 17th cent., when the word had perhaps become merely literary, many writers have associated it with shade.
