英语词汇“yellow plague”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

yellow plague n. historical an infectious disease with a high mortality rate occurring in sporadic epidemics, esp. in Wales, England, and Ireland in the 6th and 7th centuries; cf. yellow evil n. (a).No existing account of the disease provides enough information to identify it with certainty. Smallpox and relapsing fever have been suggested as likely candidates.

[Probably after post-classical Latin pestis flava (13th cent., with reference to the 6th cent., in Gerald of Wales, who interprets it as jaundice; this passage was later paraphrased by Higden and hence translated into English: see quot. a1387 for yellow evil n.), itself perhaps after Early Irish buidechair, apparently lit. ‘yellow decay’.

Compare also Early Irish buide chonaill, lit. ‘yellow (colour) of stubble’, crón chonaill, lit. ‘dark yellow (colour) of stubble’, both only used to denote this disease; the semantic motivation of the second element is unclear and apparently ceased to be transparent even within the Early Irish period.]
