释义 | > as lemmasMaythorn Maythorn n. a hawthorn. [Earlier currency may be implied by place-name evidence, as e.g. le Mathorne , West Yorkshire (1564; now Maythorn ), May Thorn Bush (field name), Ketton, Rutland (1638, now lost), although it has alternatively been suggested that the former name may rather show maythe n. (compare δ forms at that entry).] ΘΚΠ the world > plants > particular plants > trees and shrubs > thorny berry-bush > [noun] > hawthorn and allies hawthorna700 hawthorn-treec1290 whitethorna1300 haw-treec1325 albespyne?a1425 thorn-tree1483 mespilus1548 may-branch1560 quickthorn1571 hedge-bush1576 busket1579 May-bush1579 Neapolitan medlar1597 azarole1658 pyracanth1664 white bush1676 Glastonbury thorna1697 quick1727 evergreen thorn1731 blackthorn1737 whitethorn1788 oriental medlar1797 haw1821 May-haw1840 Maythorn1844 May1848 pear thorn1848 pink thorn1852 aronia thorn1882 scarlet thorn1882 black haw1897 1844 E.
