单词 hominy
释义

hominyn.

Brit. /ˈhɒmᵻni/, U.S. /ˈhɑməni/
Forms: 1600s homini, 1600s homminey, 1600s hommoney, 1600s omine, 1600s–1700s homine, 1600s– hominy, 1700s homony, 1700s–1800s hommany, 1700s–1800s homminy, 1700s–1800s hommony.
Origin: Either (i) formed within English, by compounding. Or (ii) a borrowing from Virginia Algonquian, combined with an English element. Etymons: English Uskatahomen , frumenty n.
Etymology: < -homen (in either †Uskatahomen (see note) or its Virginia Algonquian etymon) + -y (perhaps in e.g. frumenty n.).Virginia Algonquian uskatahomen , usketehamun (pronounced /askəhteːhamən/) is < /ask-/ raw, uncooked + /-əhteːh/ to strike with a stick-like tool + /-amən/ that (inanimate) which is, thus literally ‘that which is ground (by pestle) while uncooked’, by contrast with rokohamin , which is ground after being parched (see rockahominy n.). Compare the following, apparently isolated, example of a direct borrowing of the Virginia Algonquian word into English, which may underlie the later forms (the author also cites the Virginia Algonquian word in the same work):c1612 W. Strachey Hist. Trav. Virginia (1953) i. vii. 103 A woman goddesse..hath at all tymes ready drest greene Vskatahomen and Pokahichary..which is greene Corn bruysed and boyld, and walnutts beatten smale, then washed from the Shells, with a quantety of water, which makes a kynd of Milke.
