单词 ironsmith
释义

ironsmithn.

Brit. /ˈʌɪənsmɪθ/, U.S. /ˈaɪ(ə)rnˌsmɪθ/
Forms: see iron n.1 and smith n.; also Old English isene smiþas (accusative plural, perhaps transmission error).
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: iron n.1, smith n.
Etymology: < iron n.1 + smith n. Compare Middle Dutch īsersmet (Dutch ijzersmet), Old Saxon īsarnsmith (Middle Low German īsersmit, īsernsmit), Old High German īsarnsmid (Middle High German īsensmit, German Eisenschmied), Old Icelandic járnsmiðr.The first element of the form isene smiþas (see manuscript reading in quot. OE2 at sense 1) has alternatively been interpreted as showing the accusative plural of iron adj., but this seems implausible on semantic grounds; the word should either be read as īsenesmiþas (with connective vowel), or emended to īsensmiþas . Compare Old English īsernwyrhta (see ironworker n.). In sense 2 after Chinese dátiě què (1521; 1857 in the source referenced in quot. 1870 at sense 2) < dǎtiě to forge iron ( < to strike, beat + tiě iron) + què kind of small bird.
1. A person who makes and repairs iron articles by hand; a blacksmith.
