单词 barrow
释义

barrown.1

Brit. /ˈbarəʊ/, U.S. /ˈbɛroʊ/
Forms: Old English biorg, Old English–Middle English beorg, Old English–Middle English beorh, Middle English beoruh, Middle English berhȝ, borew, Middle English berȝ, bergh, beruȝ, beruh, berw, ( borw, borȝ, borgh, burgh), 1500s barow, (1600s barrough), 1500s– barrow. See also bargh n., burrow n.1
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Common Germanic: Old English beorg ( < berg) = Old Saxon, Old High German berg, Middle Dutch berch, German, Dutch berg, Gothic *bairgs < Germanic *bergo-z, all masculine; compare Old Norse berg and bjarg (neuter) ‘rock.’ Cognate with Old Slavonic brĕgŭ mountain, height, Old Irish brigh mountain, Sanskrit b'rhant, Avestan barezant high < Aryan *bhergh height. In English literature, the word went out of use before 1400, but was preserved, in special senses, in the northern dialect bargh, barf, and south-western barrow; the latter has since been taken back into archæological and general use from the ‘barrows’ of Salisbury Plain, etc.
†1. A mountain, mount, hill, or hillock. (Applied, as the date becomes later, to lower eminences.)
