单词 bezoar
释义

bezoarn.

Brit. /ˈbiːzɔː/, /ˈbɛzəʊɑː/, U.S. /ˈbiˌzɔr/
Forms: 1500s besert, bezer, 1500s–1600s bezahar, 1500s–1700s bezaar, bezar, 1600s besohard, besar, beazar, beazer, bazar, bezor, beazoar, bezaor, boezar, 1700s besaar, bezard, 1600s–1800s bezoard, bezoart, 1600s– bezoar.
Etymology: Like modern Latin bezahar, bezaar, bezoar (bezardicum, lapis bezoarticus), Spanish bezaar, bezar, bezoar, French bezahar, bezar, bezoar, bezoard, < Arabic bāzahr or bādizahr, < Persian pād-zahr counter-poison, antidote, bezoar stone; < zahr poison. In 17th cent. English, as in French and Spanish, bezahar, bezaar was reduced to two syllables, bezar, beazar, beazer/ˈbeːzər/, of which the modern pronunciation would be regularly /ˈbiːzə(r)/. The spelling bezoar (for bezaär) appears to be of modern Latin origin; it has influenced the pronunciation given in dictionaries since the end of last century.
1. gen. A counter-poison or antidote. Obsolete. (In later writers taken as a figurative use of sense 2a: hence, also, bezoar-stone.)
