单词 scamel
释义

scameln.

Origin: Of unknown origin.
Etymology: Origin unknown.Many interpretations have been offered of the reading in quot. a1616, including that it may simply be a transmission error for another word, such as seamew n. or staniel n.; for summaries of arguments that it does show a distinct word, see e.g. W. Shakespeare Tempest (Arden Shakespeare), ed. V. M. Vaughan and A. T. Vaughan (2011) 239, and the extended discussion in W. Shakespeare Tempest (New Variorum ed.), ed. H. H. Furness (1892) 138ff. It is not known if the word mentioned in quot. 1870 is related. If denoting a bird, the word may be a variant of staniel n.
Obsolete. rare.
Meaning uncertain: the statement in quot. 1870 is of doubtful value. Some have proposed to read staniel.
