单词 beer
释义

beern.1

Brit. /bɪə/, U.S. /bɪ(ə)r/
Forms: Old English–Middle English béor ( bear), Middle English ber, Middle English bor, Middle English–1600s bere, beere, 1500s bier, Scottish beir, 1500s–1600s bear(e, 1500s– beer.
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Common West Germanic: Old English béor = Old High German bior, Middle High German and modern German bier, Middle Low German bêr, Middle Dutch and Dutch bier, all neuter; compare also Old Norse bjor-r masculine. Etymology uncertain. The Germanic form might be *beuro-(m) , < *beuwo- barley (whence Old Norse bygg : see bigg n.); Kögel, taking the same derivation, has suggested as the Gothic form *biggwis < Germanic *beuwiz-; Sievers points out that one of the other forms of the neuter suffix -os, -es, -s, viz. *beuwoz-, or rather *beuwz- would better account for the West Germanic forms. Others (see Kluge) have thought of a connection with brew (taking beuro- as for *breuro-). Franck's suggestion of an Aryan *bhur- ‘to ferment’ seems unwarranted, there being no known Aryan roots in -ur.
1.
a. An alcoholic liquor obtained by the fermentation of malt (or other saccharine substance), flavoured with hops or other aromatic bitters. Formerly distinguished from ale by being hopped; but now the generic name of malt liquor, including ale and porter, though sometimes restricted and used in contradistinction to ale. The word occurs in Old English, but its use is rare, except in poetry, and it seems to have become common only in the 16th cent. as the name of hopped malt liquor. Not in Chaucer or Piers Ploughman.
