释义

marlinen.

Brit. /ˈmɑːlɪn/, U.S. /ˈmɑrlən/
Forms:

α. late Middle English marlyne, late Middle English merlyn, 1500s marlyn, 1500s–1700s 1900s– marlin, 1600s merlin, 1600s–1700s merline, 1600s– marline; also Scottish pre-1700 marleme, pre-1700 marlene, pre-1700 marllin, pre-1700 marlyne, pre-1700 merlyn.

β. 1600s martling, 1600s– marling; also Scottish pre-1700 marling, pre-1700 merling, pre-1700 myrling.

Origin: A borrowing from Middle Low German. Etymon: Middle Low German marlinc.
Etymology: < Middle Low German marlinc, merlinc rope of two strands, perhaps originally a verbal noun < a frequentative verb formation parallel to marl v.2 (compare discussion s.v. marl v.5). The verbal noun ending -ing (see -ing suffix1; compare β. forms above) is preserved in forms in several languages: East Frisian marling , Dutch marling (1593), Old Swedish märling (1460; Swedish märling ), Danish mærling , merling ; for back-formations see marl v.5 The second syllable was altered by folk etymology in several languages, including English, to line n.2 or a cognate: compare West Frisian merlijnne, Dutch marlijn (17th cent.), German Marlleine; the word appears in this form as a loan in several Romance languages: French regional (Walloon) mârlin, French merlin (1636), Portuguese merlim (16th cent.), Spanish merlín (late 18th cent.), Italian merlino (1803), Italian regional (Sicily) millīnu.See also early compounds recorded under marling n.1 and discussion at that entry.
Nautical.
Light rope of two strands, used esp. for binding larger ropes. Also more generally: strong cord or waxed twine.
