单词 pulk
释义

pulkn.1

Brit. /pʌlk/, U.S. /pəlk/
Forms:

α. Middle English polk, Middle English 1800s– polke.

β. Middle English 1600s 1900s– pulke, Middle English 1600s– pulk, 1600s pulck.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: pool n.1, an element of uncertain origin.
Etymology: Apparently < pool n.1 + a second element of uncertain origin; perhaps compare -ock suffix (perhaps compare also chink n.2 and discussion at that entry). In β. forms apparently showing shortening in inflected forms; derivation from pull , variant of pill n.1 would not accord well with the regional distribution of the forms.
Now English regional (East Anglian).
A small pool, especially of standing water; a small pond or water-pit; a shallow well or tank; a puddle, a plash; a small lake.
