单词 gyve
释义

gyven.

Brit. /dʒʌɪv/, U.S. /dʒaɪv/
Forms: Chiefly plural. Forms: plural Middle English, 1500s, 1600s gives, (Middle English gyvys), Middle English–1500s guyv(i)es, (1600s gieves), 1600s–1700s guives, Middle English– gyves. singular 1500s give, 1600s guive, 1600s– gyve.
Etymology: Middle English give, of obscure origin. The alliteration in Middle English poetry shows that the word was originally pronounced with initial (g), and from the spelling guive it would appear that this pronunciation continued until the 18th cent.; indeed, it is indicated in the pronouncing dictionaries of Sheridan (1780) and Scott (1797). The now prevailing pronunciation with // is due to misinterpretation of the graphic form of a word that had become obsolete in oral use. The form points to an Old French *guive (spelt give in French Chron. Lond., 14th cent.); Prof. Skeat suggests that this may represent an adoption of some derivative of the Germanic root *wîþ- (Old High German wîfan to wind round, Low German wîþ , a straw-band). But the absence of any record of the word in continental Old French constitutes a serious objection to this conjecture. Can Anglo-Norman guive be an adoption of the synonymous Middle English and Old English wiđđe , the initial w being represented by gu- , and the unfamiliar English dental spirant represented by v ? If this suggestion be correct, Layamon used both the English and the French form of the word; compare with quot. c1275 at sense a below the following (line 22833) ‘Nimeð me þene ilke mon, and doð wiððe an his sweore’.
Now archaic or poetic.
a. A shackle, esp. for the leg; a fetter.
