单词 plet
释义

pletn.1

Brit. /plɛt/, U.S. /plɛt/, Scottish English /plɛt/, Irish English /plɛt/
Forms: late Middle English 1600s (1900s– Irish English (northern)) plet, 1600s plette; English regional (northern) 1800s plet, 1800s plett; Scottish pre-1700 1700s–1800s plett, pre-1700 1900s– plet.
Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: plait n.
Etymology: Probably ultimately a variant of plait n., either arising from shortening of Middle English variants with long open ē (compare pleat n.), or by analogy with past tense and past participle forms of pleat v. (see γ forms at that entry).The Middle English form plet in quot. a1425 could equally show a long vowel and thus belong rather at pleat n. Compare Old English plett hurdle ( < post-classical Latin plecta interwoven border: see plectellarian adj. and n.). Sc. National Dict. (1968) records this word as still in use in Orkney, Shetland, Caithness, Angus, and Perthshire in 1966.
Now chiefly Scottish and Irish English (northern).
A plait or braid; plaited work; (also) a pleat; = plait n.
