| 释义 | > as lemmasin, within (the) lists a. spec. in plural (†sometimes construed as singular) as the equivalent of the like-sounding Old French lisse (modern French lice): The palisades or other barriers enclosing a space set apart for tilting; hence, a space so enclosed in which tilting-matches or tournaments were held. † in, within (the) lists. Sometimes, by extension, the arena in which bulls fight or wrestlers contend, etc. †Also (rarely) singular in the same sense. [The Old French lisse, which appears to have influenced the application of the English word, is of doubtful etymology; it corresponds to Spanish liza, Portuguese liça, Italian lizza, medieval Latin liciae palisades, lists. Hatzfeld & Darmesteter suggest a late Latin type *listia, < Old High German lîsta: see above.] ΘΚΠ society > society and the community > dissent > contention or strife > [noun] > place where contest is fought out fieldeOE listc1386 cockpita1568 amphitheatre1710 arena1814 scrambling-place1878 scrambling-ground1884 society > leisure > sport > types of sport or game > fighting sports > jousting or tilting > [noun] > lists or barriers listc1386 champany?a1400 rangec1440 jousting-place1480 tilt?1507 tilt-yard1528 barracec1540 barrier1581 careera1586 steccado1600 tilting-yard1606 tilting ground1850 tilting field1859 society > leisure > sport > types of sport or game > fighting sports > wrestling > [noun] > place for wrestling palaestrac1425 wrestling placec1440 fighting-school1535 list1589 wrestling ring1695 akhara1832 wrestling school1835 society > leisure > sport > types of sport or game > fighting or baiting animals > bullfighting or bullfight > [noun] > arena list1672 plaza de toros1807 circus1812 bullring1824 c1386 G.
