释义

veesn.

Brit. /viːz/, U.S. /viz/, Scottish English /viz/
Forms:

α. 1600s–1800s vise, 1700s vize.

β. 1600s weyse, 1800s veise, 1800s veize, 1800s– vees, 1800s– veez, 1800s– veeze, 1800s– viese.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: English vyce.
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps a specific sense development of Older Scots vyce section, division, boundary (1665; shortened < divise n.).The β. forms perhaps ultimately reflect an otherwise unattested variant of divise n. in which the vowel of the stressed syllable has been identified with the reflex of early Scots ē as this was in the process of being raised to ī in the Great Vowel Shift (for parallels see A. J. Aitken & C. Macafee Older Sc. Vowels (2002) §15).
Scottish. Coal Mining. Now rare.
