单词 peskan
释义

peskann.

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: pekan n.
Etymology: Ultimately a variant of pekan n., although the introduction of -s- is difficult to explain. N.E.D. (1905) s.v. suggests that the word is ‘a French spelling of pekan n. ’, probably by analogy with e.g. pastèque pasteque n. or pasquira , variant of paquira (see peccary n.), but no such form has been traced in French.
North American. Obsolete.
= pekan n.
ΘΚΠ
the world > animals > mammals > group Unguiculata or clawed mammal > family Mustelidae (weasel, marten, otter, or badger) > [noun] > genus Martes (marten) > martes pennanti (fisher)
