wainn.¹

Brit.

/weɪn/, U.S.

/weɪn/

Forms: Old English wægn, ( wegn), wægen, wǽn, Middle English Orm. waȝȝn, Middle English–1600s wayne, waine, Middle English–1600s wayn, (Middle English wayen, 1500s waayne, Middle English Scottish vayn), Middle English weyne, (Middle English wene, 1500s weene, weane, 1600s wean, whene), Middle English–1600s wane, Middle English– wain.

Etymology: Old English wægen , wǽn , strong masculine = Old Frisian wein strong masculine (modern West Frisian wein , woin , wīn , North Frisian wein , wā(i)nj ), Old Low Frankish reidi-wagan (Middle Dutch waeghen , Dutch wagen ), Middle Low German, Low German wagen , Old High German wagan strong masculine (Middle High German, German wagen ), Old Norse vagn strong masculine cart, barrow (Norwegian vagn the Great Bear, vogn cart, Danish vogn , Swedish vagn cart) < Old Germanic *wagno-z < pre-Germanic *woghno-s < Indo-European root *wegh- , *wogh- to carry, etc.: compare weigh v.¹, waw v.¹, waw v.², way n.¹ Outside Germanic cognate words of similar meaning are Irish fén ( < pre-Celtic *weghno-s) wagon, Greek ὄχος (ϝόχος < *wogho-s), chariot, Sanskrit vahana neuter, vāhana neuter, chariot. The pre-Germanic form may possibly have been *weghno-s, corresponding with the pre-Celtic form; there is some evidence of an Old Germanic change of we- to wa- before consonant groups.

a. A large open vehicle, drawn by horses or oxen, for carrying heavy loads, esp. of agricultural produce; usually four-wheeled (but see 1b); a wagon.The word does not occur in the Bible of 1611, though Wyclif and the 16th cent. translators use it. As a colloquial word it survives only in dialects, but in poetry it is commonly used instead of wagon.

单词	wain
释义	wainn.¹ Brit. /weɪn/, U.S. /weɪn/ Forms: Old English wægn, ( wegn), wægen, wǽn, Middle English Orm. waȝȝn, Middle English–1600s wayne, waine, Middle English–1600s wayn, (Middle English wayen, 1500s waayne, Middle English Scottish vayn), Middle English weyne, (Middle English wene, 1500s weene, weane, 1600s wean, whene), Middle English–1600s wane, Middle English– wain. Etymology: Old English wægen , wǽn , strong masculine = Old Frisian wein strong masculine (modern West Frisian wein , woin , wīn , North Frisian wein , wā(i)nj ), Old Low Frankish reidi-wagan (Middle Dutch waeghen , Dutch wagen ), Middle Low German, Low German wagen , Old High German wagan strong masculine (Middle High German, German wagen ), Old Norse vagn strong masculine cart, barrow (Norwegian vagn the Great Bear, vogn cart, Danish vogn , Swedish vagn cart) < Old Germanic wagno-z < pre-Germanic woghno-s < Indo-European root wegh- , wogh- to carry, etc.: compare weigh v.¹, waw v.¹, waw v.², way n.¹ Outside Germanic cognate words of similar meaning are Irish fén ( < pre-Celtic weghno-s) wagon, Greek ὄχος* (ϝόχος < wogho-s), chariot, Sanskrit vahana* neuter, vāhana neuter, chariot. The pre-Germanic form may possibly have been weghno-s, corresponding with the pre-Celtic form; there is some evidence of an Old Germanic change of we-* to wa- before consonant groups. 1. a. A large open vehicle, drawn by horses or oxen, for carrying heavy loads, esp. of agricultural produce; usually four-wheeled (but see 1b); a wagon.The word does not occur in the Bible of 1611, though Wyclif and the 16th cent. translators use it. As a colloquial word it survives only in dialects, but in poetry it is commonly used instead of wagon.
