buttockn.

Brit.

/ˈbʌtək/, U.S.

/ˈbədək/

Forms: Middle English botok, Middle English bottok, Middle English buttokkes (plural), Middle English buttokkis (plural), Middle English–1500s buttoke, Middle English (1500s–1600s Scottish) buttok, Middle English–1600s buttocke, Middle English 1600s– buttuck, Middle English– buttock, 1500s butowis (Scottish, plural, transmission error), 1500s buttuke, 1500s butucke, 1700s buttoc, 1900s– buttox (plural, nonstandard).

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: butt n.⁶, -ock suffix.

Etymology: Apparently < butt n.⁶ (although this is first attested later) + -ock suffix.Attested earlier in a surname: Robertus Briddebuttok (1268). Significantly earlier currency (in an extended use of sense 1a with reference to topographical features, perhaps ‘one of two rounded slopes or banks’) is perhaps implied by the following passage:OE Bounds (Sawyer 977) in J. M. Kemble Codex Diplomaticus (1846) IV. 19 Þanon suðriht on ðæne heafodæcer. Of ðam heafdon on ðæne weg. Of ðam wege on ða buttucas. Of ðam buttucon on ðone broc.However, this is perhaps more likely to show a different formation ( < butt n.² (although this is first attested later) + -ock suffix) with the meaning ‘small strip of arable land in an open field’; this interpretation is supported by the use of the word in field names, as e.g. Bottokes , Berkshire (1189), le Buttokes , Wiltshire (1328), etc., and also le Sortebuttokes , Wiltshire (13th cent.; compare Scortebuttes and Schortebuttes at butt n.²). Specific senses. With use in shipbuilding (see sense 2) compare French fesses (plural), lit. ‘buttocks’, in the same sense (1736). In use with reference to the brain (see sense 4) after Hellenistic Greek γλούτια, neuter plural (Galen). With use in wrestling (see sense 6) compare later buttock v. 2.

a. In the human body: either of the two round fleshy masses (comprising the gluteal muscles and surrounding tissues) situated beneath the lower back, that together form the bottom or rump, and support the body’s weight when seated; (in plural) this region of the body; the bottom or rump.

单词	buttock
释义	buttockn. Brit. /ˈbʌtək/, U.S. /ˈbədək/ Forms: Middle English botok, Middle English bottok, Middle English buttokkes (plural), Middle English buttokkis (plural), Middle English–1500s buttoke, Middle English (1500s–1600s Scottish) buttok, Middle English–1600s buttocke, Middle English 1600s– buttuck, Middle English– buttock, 1500s butowis (Scottish, plural, transmission error), 1500s buttuke, 1500s butucke, 1700s buttoc, 1900s– buttox (plural, nonstandard). Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: butt n.⁶, -ock suffix. Etymology: Apparently < butt n.⁶ (although this is first attested later) + -ock suffix.Attested earlier in a surname: Robertus Briddebuttok (1268). Significantly earlier currency (in an extended use of sense 1a with reference to topographical features, perhaps ‘one of two rounded slopes or banks’) is perhaps implied by the following passage:OE Bounds (Sawyer 977) in J. M. Kemble Codex Diplomaticus (1846) IV. 19 Þanon suðriht on ðæne heafodæcer. Of ðam heafdon on ðæne weg. Of ðam wege on ða buttucas. Of ðam buttucon on ðone broc.However, this is perhaps more likely to show a different formation ( < butt n.² (although this is first attested later) + -ock suffix) with the meaning ‘small strip of arable land in an open field’; this interpretation is supported by the use of the word in field names, as e.g. Bottokes , Berkshire (1189), le Buttokes , Wiltshire (1328), etc., and also le Sortebuttokes , Wiltshire (13th cent.; compare Scortebuttes and Schortebuttes at butt n.²). Specific senses. With use in shipbuilding (see sense 2) compare French fesses (plural), lit. ‘buttocks’, in the same sense (1736). In use with reference to the brain (see sense 4) after Hellenistic Greek γλούτια, neuter plural (Galen). With use in wrestling (see sense 6) compare later buttock v. 2. 1. a. In the human body: either of the two round fleshy masses (comprising the gluteal muscles and surrounding tissues) situated beneath the lower back, that together form the bottom or rump, and support the body’s weight when seated; (in plural) this region of the body; the bottom or rump.
