单词 green of lyre
释义

green of lyren.

Brit. /ˌɡriːn əv ˈlʌɪə/, U.S. /ˌɡrin əv ˈlaɪ(ə)r/
Forms:

α. late Middle English grene alyr, late Middle English grene alyre.

β. late Middle English grene lyr, late Middle English grene lyre.

γ. 1900s– green of lyre.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with English elements. Etymons: green n.1, of prep., proper name Lyre.
Etymology: < green n.1 + of prep. + Lyre, the English name of a town in Brabant (see black-a-lyre n.). Compare post-classical Latin lyer veridum (1423 in a British source).The α. forms show reduction of the preposition of prep. in unstressed position; the β. forms apparently reflect loss of the preposition. The following probably implies earlier currency of the English phrase:1423 in J. Raine Testamenta Eboracensia (1865) III. 63 Lego..robam meam..de grene de lyre.
Now historical.
In medieval England: a type of green cloth from Lier in Brabant.
