释义

outliggern.1

Brit. /ˈaʊtlɪɡə/, U.S. /ˈaʊtˌlɪɡər/
Forms:

α. Middle English outlygger, Middle English owtelygger, Middle English owtlegger, Middle English 1700s 1900s– outligger, 1500s outleger, 1600s–1700s outlager, 1700s outlayer, 1700s 1900s– outleager.

β. 1500s outlicar, 1600s outlooker, 1600s– outlicker, 1700s outleaker.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: out- prefix, ligger n.1
Etymology: Probably < out- prefix + ligger n.1 (compare forms at lie v.1). Compare Dutch outlegger projecting construction at the bow of a ship (1671; also later as outligger), and also Middle Low German utligger, in the same sense in an isolated attestation.A derivation from Dutch has been suggested, but seems unlikely since the Dutch is much later in the related sense, and then refers consistently to projections from the bow, rather than the stern of the ship. Middle Dutch utelegger , Middle Low German utligger are attested earlier in the sense ‘(outlying) guard ship’. In sense 2, Dutch uitlegger is occasionally found in dictionaries from the 19th cent., but compare quot. 16971 at sense 2α. . The construction is described in Dutch works from c1600 without any name; in F. Valentijn Oud en Nieuw Oost Indien I. 2 (1724) it is called vlerk (i.e. ‘wing’); this term is also still current. In the course of the 18th cent., the English word began to be superseded by outrigger n., now the only current term.
Nautical. Now historical.
1. A spar projecting from a vessel to extend a sail, or to make a greater angle for a rope, etc.; esp.
a. a long, strong spar extended from the poop to haul down the mizen-sail.
