单词 threte
释义

threten.

Forms: pre-1700 threit, pre-1700 threte, pre-1700 thretis (plural).
Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: threat n.
Etymology: Probably a variant of threat n.
Scottish. Obsolete.
Origin and meaning obscure. Occurs apparently only in Douglas's Æneis, where it is expletive, answering to nothing in the Latin. Referred in Ruddiman's Glossary, 1710, to threat n., and explained as ‘a throng, crowd, haste, speed’. Jamieson takes it in the first quot. as ‘throng, crowd’ (which does not suit the context); the second and third examples he renders ‘in haste, eagerly’, the fourth ‘in pairs, in couples’. In all the passages we have perhaps strained applications of threat n. 2, ‘pressure, etc.’ introduced for the sake of rhyme.
