单词 selvage
释义

selvageselvedgen.

Brit. /ˈsɛlvɪdʒ/, U.S. /ˈsɛlvɪdʒ/
Forms: [? Middle English corruptly sultviche], 1500s silvadge, 1500s–1600s silvage, selvege, 1600s selvedg, self edge, 1600s–1800s selvidge, selfedge, self-edge, 1700s–1800s salvage, Middle English– selvage, 1600s– selvedge.
Etymology: Apparently < self pron., adj., n., and adv. + edge n., after the equivalent early modern Dutch selfegghe (Kilian), now zelfegge = Low German sulfegge. Compare the Dutch synonyms cited by Kilian, selfkant, now zelfkant (kant = border), selfende, now zelfeinde (einde end) = German selbende, by popular etymology salband.
