单词 osmund
释义

osmundn.1

Brit. /ˈɒzmənd/, U.S. /ˈɑzmən(d)/
Forms: Middle English 1600s 1800s osemund, Middle English–1500s osmonde, Middle English–1500s osmunde, Middle English–1600s osemond, Middle English–1700s osmond, Middle English– osmund, 1600s 1900s– osmound, 1800s oosement; Scottish pre-1700 oisment, pre-1700 oismond, pre-1700 oismont, pre-1700 oismound, pre-1700 osemond, pre-1700 osmont, pre-1700 osmound, pre-1700 osmounde, pre-1700 osmwnde, pre-1700 oysment, pre-1700 oysmond, pre-1700 ozmund, pre-1700 1700s osmond, pre-1700 1700s– osmund.
Origin: Perhaps of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Swedish. Perhaps partly a borrowing from Middle Low German. Perhaps partly a borrowing from Dutch. Etymons: Swedish osmunder; Middle Low German ōsemunt; Dutch ōsemont.
Etymology: Ultimately < Old Swedish osmunder (Swedish osmund; compare also Old Swedish osmundsiärn osmund iron (Swedish osmundsjärn)), probably partly via Middle Low German ōsemunt, ōsemont, (Westphalia) ōsemund, or Middle Dutch ōsemont, ōsmont, ōsemund, themselves also borrowings from Old Swedish. Compare Old Icelandic ásmundr (in late sources; Icelandic ásmundur), Old Danish osmund (Danish osmund), also borrowings from Old Swedish. The origin of the Old Swedish word is uncertain; probably the same word as the Scandinavian personal name represented by Old Icelandic Ásmundr, Old Swedish Asmunder, and originating in a place name based on this, perhaps where the iron was first produced. Compare Anglo-Norman osmond, post-classical Latin osemondum, osemundum, osmondum, osmundum (from 1280 in British sources); compare also post-classical Latin ferrum Normannicum, lit. ‘Northmen's iron’, in the same sense (1281). Any influence of Middle Low German or Middle Dutch on the English word is probably as a result of the mediation of Hanseatic traders.It is possible that quots. 1295, 1324-5, and 1348 at sense 1 may represent examples of unattested Anglo-Norman forms rather than English. With the folk etymology deriving the word from Latin os mundi , lit. ‘bone of the world’ (compare quot. 1613 for osmund stone n. at Compounds) compare the giving of the name bonewort to the plant osmund n.2 (compare quot. a1300 at bonewort n.).
Now historical.
1. A type of high-quality iron formerly produced in the Baltic region from bog iron ore, imported in very small bars or rods, and used for the manufacture of arrowheads, fish hooks, etc., and for hardening the edges of tools and weapons. Also osmund iron. Hence more widely: any iron produced from bog iron ore.
