释义

whoredomn.

Brit. /ˈhɔːdəm/, U.S. /ˈhɔrdəm/
Forms: see whore n. and -dom suffix; also Middle English hordan.
Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on an early Scandinavian lexical item. Etymons: whore n., -dom suffix.
Etymology: Probably < whore n. or another (unattested) Old English derivative of the same Germanic base + -dom suffix, perhaps after early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic hórdómr ); see discussion at whore n. Compare Old Frisian hōrdōm, Middle Dutch, Dutch hoerdom, Middle Low German hōrdōm, and also Swedish hordom (16th cent.).
Now chiefly archaic or used self-consciously for stylistic effect.
