单词 thivel
释义

thivelthiblen.

Brit. /ˈθɪv(ə)l/, /ˈθiːv(ə)l/, /ˈθɪb(ə)l/, /ˈθiːb(ə)l/, U.S. /ˈθɪv(ə)l/, /ˈθiv(ə)l/, /ˈθɪb(ə)l/, /ˈθib(ə)l/, Scottish English /ˈθɪv(ə)l/, /ˈθiv(ə)l/, /ˈθɪb(ə)l/, /ˈθib(ə)l/
Forms: α. Middle English thyvelle, 1500s thyvil, 1600s– thivel, (1800s dialect thyvel, theevil, thieval, etc.); β. 1600s– thible, (1800s dialect thibble, thybel, etc.); γ. 1800s dialect thavel, thaivel, thabble, etc.; δ. 1800s Scottish theedle; for other forms see E.D.D.
Etymology: Of obscure origin and history. The forms with v are apparently the original, being found two centuries earlier, and used both in Scotland and the north of England, while the later forms with b are confined to northern English. The stem vowel is found variously as /ɪ/, //, /ɛ/, //, /a/, /ɑː/, /ɔː/, and //; the earliest spellings have y (? /ɪ/ or //), but the phonological development is not easy to trace. In form, thῑvel seems to correspond to Old English þyfel ‘bush, leafy plant’, but no links of connection between this and the modern sense have been found. In its various current forms the word is in use from northern Scotland to South Lancashire, West and East Yorkshire; this localization suggests a Norse origin, and it has been referred to Old Icelandic þefja/ˈθɛvja/; but this is a very rare word of doubtful standing, and in any case meant ‘to thicken by beating or stamping’ rather than ‘to stir’. The actual Old Norse name for a stirring-stick was þvara, between which and thivel there is of course no connection.
Scottish and northern regional.
