单词 mainport
释义

mainportn.

Brit. /ˈmeɪnpɔːt/, U.S. /ˈmeɪnˌpɔrt/
Forms: Middle English 1600s 1800s– mainport, 1600s manport, 1600s maynport, 1600s 1800s– maineporte.
Origin: Apparently a borrowing from French, combined with an English element. Etymons: French main , port n.5
Etymology: Apparently < Anglo-Norman and Middle French main hand (see main n.3) + port n.5 Compare the slightly later post-classical Latin manus portum payment in lieu of tithe (1375 in a British source).It is uncertain whether quot. a1326 shows an English or an otherwise unattested Anglo-Norman word. The spelling maineport is probably by association with maine n.1 with which any connection is highly unlikely. J. M. Nosworthy's Arden ed. of Cymbeline (1955) 155 notes the following attractive emendation suggested by Alice Walker, which would if adopted suggest currency of the present word in the early 17th cent.:a1616 W. Shakespeare Cymbeline (1623) v. v. 110 Must I repent, I cannot do it better then in Gyues, Desir'd, more then constrain'd, to satisfie If of my Freedome 'tis the maine part [read maineport], take No stricter render of me, then my All.
Now historical.
A customary payment, in the form of loaves of bread, made in recompense for tithes.
