单词 viking
释义

Vikingn.

Brit. /ˈvʌɪkɪŋ/, U.S. /ˈvaɪkɪŋ/
Forms: Also vikingr, vikinger, vikingir; wiking, wicking.
Etymology: < Old Norse and Icelandic víking-r (whence also Norwegian, Swedish, Danish viking, German wiking), = Old English wícing, Old Frisian witsing, wising. Compare also Old Norse and Icelandic víking (feminine), the practice of marauding or piracy. The Old Norse word is commonly regarded as < vík creek, inlet, bay, + -ingr -ing suffix3 a viking thus being one who came out from, or frequented, inlets of the sea. The name, however, was evidently current in Anglo-Frisian from a date so early as to make its Scandinavian origin doubtful; wícingsceaða is found in Anglo-Saxon glossaries dating from the 8th century, and sǽ-wícingas occurs in the early poem of Exodus, whereas evidence for víkingr in Old Norse and Icelandic is doubtful before the latter part of the 10th cent. It is therefore possible that the word really originated in the Anglo-Frisian area, and was only at a later date accepted by the Scandinavian peoples; in that case it was probably formed < Old English wíc camp, the formation of temporary encampments being a prominent feature of viking raids.
Historical.
One of those Scandinavian adventurers who practised piracy at sea, and committed depredations on land, in northern and western Europe from the eighth to the eleventh century; sometimes in general use, a warlike pirate or sea-rover.
