单词 oaken
释义

oakenadj.

Brit. /ˈəʊk(ə)n/, U.S. /ˈoʊk(ə)n/
Forms: see oak n. and -en suffix4; also late Middle English ackon, 1500s okin, 1500s okyn; Scottish pre-1700 aikkan, pre-1700 aikkin, pre-1700 aikne, pre-1700 akkein, pre-1700 akkin, pre-1700 aykkin.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: oak n., -en suffix4.
Etymology: < oak n. + -en suffix4. Compare Middle Dutch eikijn, eiken (Dutch eiken), Middle Low German ēken, Old High German eihhīn (Middle High German eichīn, German eichen), Old Icelandic eikinn.Apparently attested earlier in place names, as Akensache (1133–53; now Oakenshaw Farm, West Riding, Yorkshire), Okenefold (1220–4; now Oakenpole Wood, Kent), Akynden (1278; now Oakenden, Kent), Akenside (1332; Northumberland, now lost), etc.; although it is possible that some of these examples may show shortening of Old English ǣcen in a trisyllabic word (compare A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §285.2) with later substitution of the first element by the commoner oaken. This word superseded Old English ǣcen of oak, oaken, with i-mutated stem vowel and assibilated consonant, although its reflex (sometimes without assibilated consonant, probably by analogy with oak) is apparently attested in place names, as Achecote (1086; now Edgcott, Buckinghamshire), Ekendon (1195; now Eggington, Bedfordshire), Hekenhey (1242; Buckinghamshire, now lost), etc.
1. Made of or consisting of oak wood.Now somewhat archaic or literary, and in unmarked contexts usually replaced by oak n. Compounds 1a.
