单词 hue and cry
释义

hue and cryn.

Forms: Also 1500s–1600s hu(e)-on-cry, 1600s huoncry, 1700s hewing cry. (Often hyphenated.)
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman hu e cri, the two words hue n.2 and cry n., combined in a legal phrase, which was sometimes even treated as one word. (There is some ground to think that hue as distinct from cry originally meant inarticulate sound, including that of a horn or trumpet as well as of the voice: compare quot. 1769 at sense 2, and Du Cange s.v. Huesium; also horning n.)
1.
a. Law. Outcry calling for the pursuit of a felon, raised by the party aggrieved, by a constable, etc.
