单词 wands
释义

wandsn.

Forms: Also Middle English waynys, 1500s wanes, wannes, wandes.
Etymology: Of obscure origin; the conjecture in some dictionaries that the word is < Danish vand ( < Old Norse vatn) is inadmissible. In view of the alternative designations quoted below, it seems not impossible that the word may represent Old English *wagiend, agent-noun < wagian to shake, toss.
Perhaps Obsolete.
Only in Orwell wands. ‘The roadstead off Harwich harbour, now known as the Rolling Grounds and Pitching Grounds’ (R. G. Marsden in Eng. Hist. Rev. XXI. 96).
