单词 restelbowe
释义

restelbowen.

Forms:

α. Middle English resteboef, late Middle English restebowe.

β. late Middle English rastylbow, late Middle English restelbowe.

Origin: Partly a borrowing from French. Perhaps also partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French restebeof; Latin resta bovis.
Etymology: Partly < Anglo-Norman restebeof, restebof, restebef (also reste de beof; 13th cent.; aphetic < arestboef , arestebeof < arester arrest v. + beof ox: see beef n.), and perhaps partly also < post-classical Latin resta bovis (from 13th cent. in British sources; < resta , apparently in sense ‘stopping’ (see rest n.2) + classical Latin bovis , genitive of bōs ox: see bovine adj.). Compare later restharrow n.In forms such as restebowe the ending is perhaps influenced by folk-etymological association with bow n.1 In the β. forms, the insertion of -il- , -el- is apparently epenthetic. In the following example restebouf shows an Anglo-Norman gloss (beside Middle English kammok cammock n.1) in a trilingual Latin-Anglo-Norman-Middle English glossary:a1325 in T. Hunt Plant Names Medieval Eng. (1989) 172 [Maura] restebouf .i. kammok.
Obsolete.
The plant restharrow (genus Ononis).
