释义

outlandn.adj.

Brit. /ˈaʊtland/, /ˈaʊtlənd/, U.S. /ˈaʊtˌlænd/
Forms: see out- prefix and land n.1; also Scottish pre-1700 utlen, 1700s outling, 1800s outlin, 1800s– ootlin', 1800s– outlin, 1900s– ootlin.
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic. Etymons: out- prefix, land n.1
Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Middle Dutch utelant, uutlant, Middle Low German ūtlant, Middle High German ūzlant outlying estate (German Ausland foreign countries), Old Icelandic útlǫnd outlying land, foreign countries (compare also útlenda outlying estates), Old Swedish utland (Swedish utland), early modern Danish ūtland (Danish udland) < the Germanic base of out- prefix + the Germanic base of land n.1In the Scandinavian languages probably re-formed in the modern period after German Ausland . The adjective probably arose from attributive use of the noun, although compare Old English ūtlende , Old High German ūzlenti exiled, Old Icelandic útlendr outlandish, foreign, and also earlier outlands adj., outlandish adj. Sense A. 3 may arise from earlier adjectival use (in e.g. outland man (see sense B. 1); compare also outlands man (see outlands adj.)), although compare also Old English ūtlenda foreigner, stranger, Old High German ūzlenti exile. Scots forms in with -i- in the second syllable probably arise from misapprehension of the forms outlan , outlan' , perhaps by confusion with formations in -ling suffix1 and -ling suffix2.
