单词 mistal
释义

mistaln.

Brit. /ˈmɪstl/, U.S. /ˈmɪst(ə)l/
Forms: 1600s– mistall, 1700s– mystall, 1800s– missal, 1800s– missald, 1800s– missel, 1800s– missol, 1800s– mista, 1800s– mistal, 1800s– mistle, 1800s– misto, 1800s– mistoe.
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mix n.1, stall n.1
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps < mix n.1 + stall n.1 Compare also the form mewstall in quot. 1703, apparently showing an independent word (perhaps compare mow n.1). N.E.D. (1907) notes that a connection (as suggested by Eng. Dial. Dict. s.v.) between Norwegian (in archaic or regional use) mjøstøl ‘resting-place near a farm’, or mjølkestødl ‘station in the out-fields for milking purposes’, and this word is improbable.
English regional (northern).
A stable or shed for cattle.
ΘΚΠ
the world > food and drink > farming > animal husbandry > keeping of cattle > [noun] > housing or sheltering of cattle > cattle house
