单词 obloquy
释义

obloquyn.

Brit. /ˈɒbləkwi/, U.S. /ˈɑbləkwi/
Forms:

α. late Middle English–1500s obloqui, late Middle English–1600s obloquie, late Middle English– obloquy, 1500s–1600s obloquye, 1800s obloquey (irregular), 1800s obloquiy (irregular); also Scottish pre-1700 oblequie, pre-1700 obloquie.

β. late Middle English oblyque, late Middle English–1500s obliqui, 1500s oblyquy, 1500s–1700s obliquie, 1700s–1800s obliquy; N.E.D. (1902) records also the forms late Middle English oblyquy, 1500s oblicque.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French obloquie; Latin obloquium.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman obloquie calumny, detraction (late 13th cent.) and its etymon post-classical Latin obloquium contradiction, calumny (5th cent.; frequently in British sources c1125–1486) < classical Latin obloquī to speak against, gainsay, contradict < ob- ob- prefix + loquī to speak (see loquent adj.).The β. forms may have arisen through confusion with oblique adj. or obliquity n. N.E.D. (1902) s.v. Obliquie treated the following as a probable transmission error for oblique adj. Rowe (1709) replaces the First Folio's obliquie with obloquy, and Pope (1723) with oblique; Johnson and subsequent editors until the 20th cent. followed Pope, with obliquy becoming the reading in 20th-cent. editions. It seems likely that elements of both meanings were intended.a1616 W. Shakespeare Timon of Athens (1623) iv. iii. 18 All's obliquie: There's nothing leuell in our cursed Natures But direct villanie.
1.
a. Verbal abuse directed against a person or thing; detraction, calumny, slander. Formerly (also): †an abusive or calumnious speech or utterance (obsolete).In quot. a1616 probably with admixture of sense of obliquity or oblique (see etymological note).
