单词 glaik
释义

glaikn.

Brit. /ɡleɪk/, U.S. /ɡleɪk/, Scottish English /ɡlek/
Etymology: Of obscure origin; connection with gleek n.1 is suggested by the sense, but its phonological possibility is not evident. Possibly sense 4, though recorded late, may be the original; the notion of ‘deceit’ has often developed from that of ‘dazzling’. Otherwise sense 4 must be regarded as a distinct word.
Scottish.
1. plural. Mocking deception; chiefly in the phrases to give (play) one the glaiks, to cheat, swindle one; to get the glaik(s, to be cheated or deceived. Cf. gleek n.2
