单词 overthrall
释义

overthrallv.

Forms: see over- prefix and thrall v.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: over- prefix, thrall v.
Etymology: < over- prefix + thrall v. Dict. Older Sc. Tongue s.v. overthrall v.1 suggests that the form in quot. c1540 may instead represent a variant of overthrow v. (compare forms at throw v.1) with -all for -aw (homophonous in 16th-cent. Scots, but here rhyming as a result of spelling pronunciation with words in -all).
Scottish. Obsolete. rare.
transitive. To enthrall; to take captive.
ΘΚΠ
society > authority > subjection > restraint or restraining > restraint depriving of liberty > deprive of liberty by restraint [verb (transitive)] > take captive
