单词 rome-scot
释义

Rome-scotn.

Brit. /ˈrəʊmskɒt/, U.S. /ˈroʊmˌskɑt/
Forms:

α. Old English Rom-gescot, late Old English Rom-gesceot.

β. late Old English Rome-scott, late Old English– Rome-scot, early Middle English–1600s Rom-scot, Middle English Rome-scote, Middle English–1500s Rome-scotte, 1600s–1700s Room-scot.

γ. late Old English 1500s Rome-schot, 1500s Rom-schot, 1500s 1700s Rome-shott, 1500s–1600s 1800s– Rome-shot.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: Rome n., English gescot ; Rome n., shot n.1
Etymology: In α. forms < Rome n. + Old English gescot payment (see shot n.1). In β. forms and γ. forms probably partly shortened < α. forms and partly < Rome n. + shot n.1; in later use in β. forms probably partly remodelled after scot n.2, partly remodelled after forms in Latin and in Scandinavian languages, and partly a revival (especially by historians, from the written record) of Old English or early Middle English forms. Compare post-classical Latin Romscotum , Romescotum (1207, c1260 respectively in British sources). The Old English word was probably borrowed into early Scandinavian; compare Old Icelandic Rómaskattr (which shows substitution of skattr scat n.1 for the second element), Old Danish romskud, Old Swedish romscuth, romskott.Old English forms in -sc- probably showed palatalization and assibilation, which would normally be expected in this position, although the Old English spelling system itself usually does not indicate this (however, compare the form Rom-gesceot). It is very uncertain how forms in -sc- in early Middle English should be interpreted. The division of material adopted here is based purely on the spelling forms.
1. An annual tax formerly paid in England, principally before the Reformation, to the papal see at Rome; = Peter's penny n. 1. Cf. Rome penny n. Now historical.
