单词 cabotage
释义

cabotagen.

Brit. /ˈkabətɑːʒ/, /ˈkabətɪdʒ/, U.S. /ˈkæbəˌtɑʒ/, /ˈkæbədɪdʒ/
Etymology: < French cabotage (also Spanish cabotaje, in Italian cabotaggio) in same sense; < French caboter to coast; whence French has also caboteur, cabotier, cabotin, cabotinage, cabotiner. Derivation uncertain. Originally a shipping term of the north of France: M. Paul Meyer rejects Littré's guess from Spanish cabo cape, headland, as if ‘to sail from cape to cape’, as untenable phonetically and historically, and thinks the verb must be from the name of a kind of boat. The gloss ‘cabo , trabe, nave’ occurs in (MS. Bibl. Nat. 1646 lf. 83 b) a 13th cent. copy of an older glossary; and Littré has cabot , chabot as north French equivalents of sabot , which is still applied to a small vessel running two or three knots an hour. (Brachet guesses that caboter may be from the surname Cabot ; which may have had the same origin, but compare cabot n.)
Nautical.
