单词 bothen
释义

bothenn.

Forms: Old English boðen, Old English–Middle English boþen, early Middle English boþe, early Middle English boþena, Middle English bodwine (probably transmission error), Middle English bodym, Middle English bothom, Middle English bothon, Middle English bothun, Middle English botome, Middle English boþom, Middle English boþume, Middle English boyiun, Middle English boyne, Middle English boyome, Middle English boyton, Middle English budent, Middle English 1600s (1800s Cornwall) bothem, late Old English–Middle English 1600s 1800s–1900s bothen, 1800s botham (south-western).
Origin: Of uncertain origin.
Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps compare the second element of Old High German beresboto weed, darnel (itself of uncertain and disputed origin), and for the ulterior etymology perhaps compare ancient Greek ϕυτόν plant (see phyto- comb. form). Compare bozzum n., and English regional (Dorset) botherum , botherem corn marigold (19th cent.). Compare also bottle n.2, buddle n.1Compare Old English bogen (early Middle English boȝen ) denoting a plant of uncertain identity, perhaps rosemary, and its probable reflex English regional (Cumberland) bowens (also booin ) groundsel, ragwort (19th cent.). In Old English and early Middle English this word seems to be interchangeable with the present word in some contexts (compare quots. eOE, OE1), and it has been suggested that it was originally a variant of it, although this poses phonological problems. Also attested as a place-name element, implying wider currency in early Middle English than is otherwise apparent: Bothenewode, Dorset (1323, now Bothenwood).
Obsolete (English regional in later use).
Any of various plants often found growing among corn, esp. ox-eye daisy, Leucanthemum vulgare (more fully white bothen), cornflower, Centaurea cyanus (more fully blue bothen), and corn marigold, Glebionis segetum (more fully yellow bothen). In early use also: (apparently) any of several aromatic medicinal herbs, esp. rosemary, Rosmarinus officinale. Cf. bottle n.2, buddle n.1See also bluebottle n. 1a, white bottle n., yellow-bottle n. 1.The early identification (chiefly in glossaries) with rosemary and other aromatic plants such as thyme and lavender is puzzling, and may ultimately rest on an error.

bothenadj.

Forms:

α. Middle English bothen, Middle English boþen.

β. Middle English bothens, Middle English boþins.

γ. Middle English bothenerys.

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: both adj.
Etymology: A genitive form of both adj.; compare earlier bother adj. With later use perhaps compare -en suffix4. In β. forms with addition of the genitive ending -s ; compare β. forms at bother adj. In γ. forms perhaps with alteration after forms of bother adj.For a discussion of the development of the construction and its successors in later English see bother adj. The ending probably shows the reflex of the early Middle English genitive plural ending -ene (Old English weak genitive plural -ena ). Compare also early Middle English (non-genitival) forms of both pron. in -en (see discussion at that entry).
Obsolete.
Of or belonging to both the people specified. In early use following (or occasionally preceding) the genitive of a plural personal pronoun; in later use following a plural possessive adjective. Cf. both adj. 4, bother adj.
