单词 catchpole
释义

catchpolen.1

Brit. /ˈkatʃpəʊl/, U.S. /ˈkɛtʃˌpoʊl/, /ˈkætʃˌpoʊl/
Forms: Old English kæcewol (transmission error), Middle English cacchepol, Middle English cacchepole, Middle English cacchepolle, Middle English cachepol, Middle English cachepoll, Middle English cachpoll, Middle English cachpolle, Middle English cahchpolle, Middle English kachepol, Middle English kachepoll, Middle English–1500s cachepolle, Middle English–1500s catchepol, Middle English–1500s catchepoll, Middle English–1600s catchepolle, Middle English– catchpoll, late Middle English hachepolles (plural, transmission error), 1500s catchepole, 1500s catchepowle, 1500s catchipolle, 1500s catchpolle, 1500s–1600s catchpol, 1500s–1600s catchpoule, 1500s– catchpole, 1600s cachpole, 1600s catchpowle.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French *cachepol.
Etymology: < an early and unattested Old French (northern) *cachepol (later reflected in Anglo-Norman cachepol (13th cent. or earlier)), variant of Old French chacepol (13th cent., Middle French chacepol ) < chacer chase v.1 + polle chicken, hen (see pull n.2), with reference to poultry being taken as taxes. Compare post-classical Latin cacepollus, cachepolus (from early 12th cent. in British sources), and chacepollus, chacipollus, chassipullus (from 13th cent. in continental sources), which may have served as intermediaries in the word's transmission.It has been suggested that the compound was originally modelled on an Old Occitan formation; compare the nickname (in post-classical Latin) of Franco de Biveu ‘quem vocant cassa pullum’ (‘whom they call cassa pullum ’; Grenoble, 1107), in which the first element reflects an Old Occitan form of the verb (also seen in the surname of Geraldus Cazaporcs , lit. ‘swine driver’; Marseilles, 1097). Old English The isolated attestation in Old English (in quot. OE, first half of the 11th cent.) predates evidence of any form in French or Latin (as well as the existence of Anglo-Norman). The scribal error (of wynn (ƿ ) for p ) suggests that the scribe may not have been familiar with the word he was copying. It is not entirely clear which sound the medial c is intended to represent (probably //). The medial c in post-classical Latin cacepollus (see above) poses the same problem. Early surnames. Compare also the following early examples of use as a surname, although it is unclear whether these should be interpreted as showing the Anglo-Norman or the Middle English word: Aluricus Chacepol (1086; ultimately reflecting a continental Old French form), Robert le Chachepol (second half of the 12th cent.; compare chacche v.), Hugo le Cachepol (1221).
