单词 abthane
释义

abthanen.

Brit. /ˈabθeɪn/, U.S. /ˈæbˌθeɪn/
Forms: pre-1700 abthan, pre-1700 1700s– abthane, 1800s– abthain (only in sense 2).
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Irish. Partly a borrowing from Scottish Gaelic. Etymons: Latin abthanus; Irish abthaine; Scottish Gaelic abthaine.
Etymology: In sense 1 < post-classical Latin abthanus senior thane (a1385 in John of Fordun Scotichron. iv. xxxix, the passage translated in quot. 1872 at sense 1) < abthania monastic lands (13th cent.) and its etymon Irish abdhaine , abthaine and Scottish Gaelic abthaine , abdhaine abbacy, (in Scotland also) monastic lands (see below), arising from mistaken interpretation of the second element of these words as being related to post-classical Latin thanus thane n.1 (compare the discussion in W. F. Skene John of Fordun's Chron. (1872) ii. 412–14). In sense 2 directly < Irish abthaine and Scottish Gaelic abthaine (also in Latin contexts as abthan , abthain , abthen , abthein , abbathain , abbethayn ; Early Irish apthaine position of abbot, abbacy; < abb abbot (genitive singular abbad , abbath , < post-classical Latin abbat- , abbas : see abbot n.) + -aine, suffix forming abstract nouns).The quots. at sense 1 all directly or indirectly refer to the passage from John of Fordun, which relates the marriage of Bethóc (Beatrix), daughter of Malcolm II, to Crínán, Abbot of Dunkeld, in the late 10th or early 11th cent. Crínán's title was apparently confused with the name of the monastic lands at Dull in Perthshire, which appears in Latin charters from the 13th cent. as Abthania de Dul (and variants; compare the modern place name Appin of Dull and also 1880 at sense 2); these lands had by then become part of the diocese of Dunkeld (established in the 12th cent.).
