单词 bauson
释义

bausonn.adj.

/ˈbɔːsən/
Forms: Middle English–1500s bausen, Middle English–1600s bawson, Middle English– bauson; also Middle English baucyne, bawcyn, Middle English bawsone, bawsym, ( bawstone, bauston), 1500s bauzen, bauzon, bawsym, ( balstone), 1600s boson, bowson, 1700s bawsin, ( boreson).
Etymology: Middle English bausen , < Old French bausen, bauzan, see bausond adj., the animal taking its name from the white mark on its face: compare bauson-faced . See badger n.2 for the etymological parallel of French blaireau badger, < Flemish blaer, Dutch blaar white spot on the forehead. (But in French, bausen, etc., has never been applied to the badger, and its being so used in English implies a much earlier use of the adjective than we have evidence of.)
archaic.
