单词 orobus
释义

orobusn.

Brit. /ˈɒrə(ʊ)bʌs/, /ˈɔːrə(ʊ)bʌs/, U.S. /ˈɔrəbəs/
Forms: Middle English orabum, Middle English oreby, Middle English orobi, Middle English orobum, Middle English oroby, Middle English– orobus.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin orobus.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin orobus a cultivated vetch, probably Vicia ervilia (4th cent.) < ancient Greek ὄροβος , probably a loanword, perhaps of the same origin as classical Latin ervum vetch (see ers n.2) and ancient Greek ἐρέβινθος chickpea. Compare Italian orobo (early 14th cent. as †orabo ). Compare orobe n., and also oreb n.The forms oreby, orobi, and oroby reflect the Latin partitive genitive, which was commonly used in recipes and lists of substances.
Botany. Now rare.
Any of various vetches or wild peas, esp. (a) any of those constituting the genus Orobus (now united with the genus Lathyrus), chiefly distinguished by their lack of tendrils and erect habit; (in form Orobus) the genus itself; (b) the Mediterranean vetch Vicia ervilia.The English name bitter vetch has been used for these plants since the time of Turner, who founded the appellation upon a passage in Galen (see quot. 1551), though the early herbalists admit that the identity of Galen's ὄροβος was unknown to them.Valid publication as a genus name: Linnaeus Species Plantarum (1753) II. 728.
