单词 hand-habend
释义

hand-habendadj.n.

Brit. /ˈhandhabənd/, U.S. /ˈhændˌhæbənd/
Forms:

α. Middle English hand-habbynde, Middle English honde-habbynde, Middle English hond-habbande, Middle English hond-habbinde, Middle English hond-habbing, Middle English hond-habbinge, Middle English hond-habbyng, 1600s– hand-habend.

β. Middle English hand-haueing, 1800s– hand-having; also Scottish pre-1700 hand-hauand, pre-1700 hand-hauang, pre-1700 hand-havand, pre-1700 hand-haveand.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: hand n., having adj.
Etymology: < hand n. + having adj., probably after Old English æt hæbbendre handa (see having adj. 1a). With the variation in the second element compare forms of the present participle of have v. at Forms 6(i) at that entry. In form hand-habend perhaps after post-classical Latin handhabenda (see below).Compare Anglo-Norman handhabbynde , handhabband , handhabbend , handhabend (late 13th cent. or earlier) and post-classical Latin handhabbenda , handhabenda (c1114, a1118: see quots. below), in sense ‘in possession of stolen goods’. The early attestation of the post-classical Latin word implies currency already in Old English of an unattested *handhæbbende . Compare:c1114 Quadripartitus in F. Liebermann Gesetze der Angelsachsen (1903) I. 172 Fur..nullo modo uita dignus habeatur.., sit quicumque sit, sic handhabbenda [c1150 Macro handhabbenda, a1175 Royal handhabenda, c1200 Titus handhabenda], sic non handhabbenda, si pro certo sciatur.a1118 Leges Hen. I lix. §20 in L. J. Downer Leges Henrici Primi (1972) 188 Ut..sic in malefacientibus misericordiam sentiant ne forisbannitum aut furem handhabbendam Francigenam uel Anglicum..impunitum transeant. The post-classical Latin form handhabenda is probably influenced by classical Latin (gerundive) habendus to be had, to be held (compare habendum n.). It is assumed here that examples such as the following show a borrowing into Anglo-Norman, although such examples could alternatively be taken as showing use of the English word in an Anglo-Norman context (compare quot. a1300-1400 at sense A. for such use in a Latin context):c1290 Britton (1865) I. i. xxx. §6. 182 Acun..robbeour seisi de soen larcyn handhabbynde et bacberinde.a1325 Laws & Usages City of Dublin in J. T. Gilbert Hist. & Munic. Documents Ireland (1870) 250 Dautrepart, si un larun seit pris handhabband et bakberand, hom le pendera par iugement de la tounderie.
