单词 canceleer
释义

canceleern.

Forms: 1600s cancelleer, cancellere, canceleer, cancelleere, cancileer, cancilier, cancilleere, chancelleer, 1600s–1700s cancellier, 1700s cancelier,
Etymology: < the infinitive (taken substantively) of Old Northern French canceler, in modern French chanceler to swerve, shake to and fro, waver, totter, stagger, apparently the same as Old French canceler, chanceler to place in the position of crossing bars or latticework, to cross; but since Old French had also es-canceler, es-chanceler, Littré takes the latter as the proper form in this sense, and explains it as < Latin *ex-cancellāre to escape out of cancelli, ‘sortir des barreaux, d'où chanceler’, and thinks that the use of the simple verb in the sense of the derivative was due to confusion. But the simple canceler is quite as old in this sense (11th cent.).Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: canceˈleer.
