单词 keelivine
释义

keelivinekeelie vinen.

Forms: Also (1700s kilie vine), 1800s kyle-, keela-, keely-, guilli-, cala-, -vine.
Etymology: Of uncertain origin. In South of Scotland and Northumberland pronounced as two (or three) words keelie vine (or keel i' vine ), (contracted in Scotland keelie , in Northumbrian vine ), and commonly explained as < keel n.3 + vine (referring to the pencil ‘vine’ or cedar), the name being only applied to a pencil enclosed in wood. But in other districts the name is pronounced as one word, and applied to the substance black-lead itself: compare killow n., another name of this. See other suggestions in Jamieson. If quot. c1720 at sense a belongs here, the correct etymology ought also to explain kilie vert there mentioned.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈkeelivine.
Scottish and northern dialect.
a. A black-lead pencil, or more generally, any coloured pencil enclosed in wood (as a red keelie-vine); also, in some places, black-lead, plumbago.
