单词 ridlaik
释义

ridlaikn.

Origin: Of unknown origin.
Etymology: Origin unknown.With the first element perhaps compare rid , Scots variant of red adj., although reed n.1 has alternatively been suggested. The second element has been connected with that of later greylag n. (see discussion at that entry), although this presents phonological problems. See further W. B. Lockwood Oxf. Dict. Brit. Bird Names (1993) at reed lag n. and P. Acker in Medium Ævum 62 (1993) 285–8. The form ridlark in the 1675 edition of quot. 1596 apparently shows remodelling by association with lark n.1
Scottish. Obsolete. rare.
A kind of wild goose (not identified).
