单词 rumbullion
释义

rumbullionn.1

Brit. /rʌmˈbʌlɪən/, /rəmˈbʌlɪən/, U.S. /ˌrəmˈbəljən/, /ˌrəmˈbəliən/
Forms: 1600s rombullion, 1600s rumbullian, 1600s– rumbullion.
Origin: Of uncertain origin.
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Although the word is evidently related to its slightly later synonyms rum n.2 and rumbustion n., the precise nature of the relationship in unclear.It has been suggested that the word shows a specific use of English regional (Devon) rumbullion tumult, uproar (of unknown origin), on the assumption that the drink was so named on account of its effect on its drinkers. Although such a connection seems possible in view of the fact that many of the early English settlers in the Caribbean came from Devon, the suggestion poses chronological problems, as there is no evidence for currency of the regional noun before the mid 19th cent. (see Eng. Dial. Dict. (1904) IV. 181/1). For an alternative, but unconvincing, suggestion of a French etymology see L. Spitzer 1944, in Mod. Lang. Notes 49 243 ff.
Now historical.
Rum; a glass or drink of this.
