单词 assale
释义

assalen.

Forms: 1500s assayle.
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: assail n.
Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps a variant of assail n.The intended sense of assayle in the quot. is uncertain. It has alternatively been taken to mean ‘sale’, and etymologized as either a formation < a- prefix1 + sale n.1, or an alteration of or compositorial error for a sale (compare to make sale at sale n.2 2b). However, this passage is a free translation of Horace Satires 1. 2. 9, which refers to oppressing or exploiting inherited estates for monetary gain, rather than to selling them.
Obsolete. rare.
Probably: assault, attack; = assail n.
