单词 moscow
释义

Moscown.

Brit. /ˈmɒskəʊ/, U.S. /ˈmɑsˌkaʊ/, /ˈmɑsˌkoʊ/
Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Moscow.
Etymology: < Moscow (Russian Moskva : see etymological note below), the name of the capital city of Russia and of the river on which it stands (also, formerly, the name of the capital city of the Soviet Union (1922–91), and a name for the principality of Muscovy and its capital: see Muscovy n. and compare note at main sense).Moscow is first mentioned in Russian chronicles in 1147, but the modern Russian form of its name, Moskva , dates from the 14th cent. The Old Russian name for the river, principality, and city is recorded as Moskov′ , accusative (1177 in this form; earlier in locative na Moskvě ‘on the Moscow river’ and in other oblique cases with loss of the second o ). It is the fully vocalized form of the name that gave rise both to English Moscow (perhaps also influenced by the Russian adjective Moskovskij ) and to post-classical Latin Moscovia , Muscovia (see Muscovian n. and adj.). Moscow is recorded as a place name in English sources from the 16th cent. and occurs in the following isolated usage in sense ‘a type of cloth’ in the 19th cent.:1860 S. Jubb Hist. Shoddy-Trade 51 Some of the heavier makes in this cloth have passed current under the names of ‘Moscows’ and ‘Presidents’.
Originally: the government (ideology, etc.) of the Soviet Union (now historical). Now also: the government of Russia.Moscow became the capital when Ivan the Terrible proclaimed himself the first tsar of Russia in the 16th cent. Peter the Great moved his capital to St Petersburg in 1712. The centre of revolutionary activity in the Russian Revolution of 1917, Moscow became the capital of the Soviet Union and the seat of communist government in 1922.
