单词 nightshade
释义

nightshaden.1

Brit. /ˈnʌɪtʃeɪd/, U.S. /ˈnaɪtˌʃeɪd/
Forms: Old English nihtscada, early Middle English nictscade, Middle English nichsode, Middle English nichtheschode, Middle English nighcode (transmission error), Middle English nightscode, Middle English nightshede, Middle English niȝteschede, Middle English niȝteschode, Middle English niththeschod, Middle English nyghtshode, Middle English nyȝteschode, Middle English nyȝtestlade (transmission error), Middle English nyȝtschode, Middle English nyȝtsclade (transmission error), Middle English nytischode, Middle English nytisshede, Middle English–1500s nyghtshade, 1500s nighteshad, 1500s nighteshade, 1500s nightshad, 1500s– nightshade; U.S. regional 1900s– nightshed; also Scottish pre-1700 nychtschaid. N.E.D. (1907) also records forms Middle English nichtheshod, Middle English nichtheshode, 1500s nyghteshade, 1500s nyghteshed.
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with Middle Dutch nachtscāde , nachtscādue , nachtscāduwe (Dutch nachtschade , Dutch regional nachtschaduwe ), Old Saxon nahtscado (Middle Low German nachtschāde , nachtschēde ( > Old Swedish natskada , natskeda , early modern Danish natskade )), Old High German nahtscato (Middle High German nahtschate , early modern German nachtschatt , German Nachtschatten ; > Swedish nattskatta ), apparently < the Germanic base of night n. + the Germanic base of shade n., probably with allusion to the poisonous or narcotic properties of the berries. The development of sense was perhaps from ‘the darkness of night’ to ‘something evoking the terror of the darkness of night’; compare the following transferred uses of the same word: German regional Nachtschade , Nachtschatten , Old Swedish natskädha (Swedish regional nattskatta ), Danish regional natskade , all in sense ‘nightjar’, also Swedish regional nattskata bat. The second element may further show alteration by folk etymology in some languages: e.g. with Middle English forms in -schede , -schode , perhaps compare forms of shode n.; with Middle Low German forms in -schēde perhaps compare schēde sheath n.1 Compare night-shade n.2An alternative etymology derives the second element from the Germanic base of scathe n. (with which the word is connected by folk etymology in Dutch because of the coincidence of the form schade): see F. A. Wood ‘Some Revised Etymologies’ in Mod. Philol. (1926) 24 217–8.
1. Any of several plants of the genus Solanum (family Solanaceae) and of the allied genus Atropa noted for their poisonous or narcotic properties, esp. woody nightshade ( S. dulcamara), black nightshade ( S. nigrum), and deadly nightshade ( A. belladonna) (cf. sense 2a). Also: gen. a plant of the genus Solanum or the family Solanaceae.
