单词 lectern
释义

lecternn.

Brit. /ˈlɛkt(ə)n/, /ˈlɛktəːn/, U.S. /ˈlɛktərn/
Forms: α. Middle English lettorne, Middle English leteron(e, letervn, letteroun, letrone, letrune, leyterne, letyrn, Middle English–1600s lettron, 1500s lettrone, lettrune, letteron, letterane, litterne, letaring, 1500s–1700s latron(e, 1500s–1600s, 1800s lettern, 1600s lettren, Scottish lettering, 1800s Scottish lateran, lattern. β. Middle English lectrone, lectrun, Middle English–1500s lectron, lectryne, Middle English–1600s lectorn(e, 1500s lecteron, lecterne, lecturne, 1800s lecturn, 1500s, 1800s lectern. γ. 1500s lecter, lector, lettour.
Etymology: Middle English lettrun, etc., < Old French lettrun, leitrun, semi-popular form of late Latin lectrum, ‘analogium super quo legitur’ (Pseudo-Isidore Lib. Glossarum), < leg-, root of legĕre to read: compare mulctrum milking pail, < mulgēre to milk. The β forms are influenced by the Latin lectrum, or perhaps rather by the synonymous medieval Latin lectrīnum, < the same root (compare textrīnum weaver's shop, < texĕre to weave), which was the more usual word in ecclesiastical Latin in the 15th cent. The modern French lutrin (15th cent. lieutrin, leutrin) seems to represent a mixture of Old French leitrun (the vowel of the first syllable being influenced by that of the last) with Old French letrin, < medieval Latin lectrīnum. There seems to be no foundation for the common statement that Isidore's lectrum is < Greek λέκτρον, for which no other sense is known in Greek of any period than that of ‘bed’, ‘marriage-bed’.
1. A reading- or singing-desk in a church, esp. that from which the lessons are read; made of wood, metal, or stone, and often in the form of an eagle with outspread wings supported on a column.
