单词 bodkin
释义

bodkinn.

Brit. /ˈbɒdkɪn/, U.S. /ˈbɑdkən/
Forms: Middle English boidekyn, boytekyn, bode-, boydekynne, Middle English boyde-, bodekyn, Middle English boddekyn, 1500s boddkynne, botken, botkin, bodkyn, bodkine, 1600s ( boidkene), Middle English– bodkin.
Etymology: Of unknown etymology: the original form in English was boydekin, boidekyn, in 3 syllables. The form naturally suggests a diminutive in -kin: but no primitive of the required form appears in English or other related language. The phonetic history is also difficult. (In default of finding it elsewhere, the derivation has been sought in Celtic. The Welsh biˈdogyn ‘ little dagger’, fixed on by some, must be discarded, both because it is accented on the penult, and because the Middle English word was itself adopted in Welsh as bwytkin; but some still think it possible that boydekin may have originated in some kind of corruption of Irish bideog, Gaelic biodag, Welsh bidog dagger.)
