单词 rew
释义

rewn.1

Brit. /ruː/, U.S. /ru/
Forms: Old English hreaw (rare), Old English riew (rare), Old English (early Middle English chiefly south-west midlands) reaw, Old English–early Middle English ræw, late Old English–1600s 1800s– rew, Middle English rees (plural), Middle English reow (in copy of Old English charter), Middle English reuwe, Middle English ryse (plural, perhaps transmission error), Middle English–1600s rewe, 1800s– rue.
Origin: Apparently a word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Apparently < a variant (with suffix causing i-mutation) of the same Germanic base as row n.1The Old English forms hreaw, reaw probably result from the phonetic approximation of ǣw to ēa , and subsequent analogical reintroduction of w (see A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §273); the initial hr- in hreaw is a reverse spelling (see discussion at R n.). The early Middle English (south-west midland) form reaw shows the normal representation of the reflex of Old English ǣ in the so-called ‘AB language’ of the south-west midlands. Earlier currency of sense 3 is perhaps implied by Old English gerǣwed , adjective, (of a garment) having decorative strips (see rew v.). Attested early in place names (in sense ‘row of houses’; compare sense 1a and row n.1 4a), as Reuwa , Devon (1086; now Rewe), Reawe (street name), Devizes, Wiltshire (1207; now lost), and (probably in sense ‘hedgerow’ or ‘row of trees’) as Rewe , Isle of Wight (1266; now Rew Farm) and la Rewe (field name), Wiltshire (1309; now lost). In Old English the prefixed form gerǣw (compare y- prefix) is also attested in the phrase on gerǣwe in a row (compare Phrases 2); it survives into early Middle English in late copies of material of Old English composition. It is possible that the phrase on a rew represents a reflex of the Old English phrase.
Now English regional (southern).
