单词 shiel
释义

shieln.

Brit. /ʃiːl/, U.S. /ʃil/, Scottish English /ʃil/
Forms: α. Middle English sciale, shale, Middle English–1500s schele, Middle English–1500s scheill, Middle English, 1600s schell(e, 1500s shele, shile, 1600s sheale, sheel(l, 1600s–1800s sheal, 1800s shill, ( scheul, schule), 1700s– shiel; β. 1500s–1600s scheild, 1600s sheyld, sheald, 1700s–1800s shield.
Etymology: Northern Middle English shāle, schēle, of obscure origin.Probably connected in some way with the synonymous Old Norse skále weak masculine (whence scale n.4). The formal equivalent of this in Old Northumbrian would be *scéla (= West Saxon *sceala ), which would yield Middle English schēle and the later forms. The 13th cent. form shāle may be an adoption of the Old Norse form with substitution of initial /ʃ/ for /sk/, or it may be an alteration of the native word through association with the Old Norse form. The β forms arose from confusion with shield n.
Scottish and northern.
