| 释义 | 〔tweed〕Calling the wordtweed an alteration of the form tweel obscures the fact that in this case, as in many others,human error has helped create a word.Tweed is indeed possibly the result of a misreading of tweel, an originally Scots form of twill. Tweed also could be a misreading of an abbreviated form oftweeled, a form of twilled. Association withTweed, the name of the river that is part of the border between England and Scotland, helped support the misreading,which was originally a trade name.The word is said to have first been used around 1831,but it is not recorded until 1847.Thus had it not been for the misreading,the tweedy look might have been the tweely look or the tweeledy look.把tweed 这个词当作 tweel 的一种变体形式掩盖了一个事实， 即和其它很多情况一样，这种情况使人类的错误创造了一个新词。Tweed 实际上很可能是 tweel 这一最早是 twill的苏格兰形式的误读造成的结果。 Tweed 也可能是派生词tweeled ，即 twilled 的另一种形式的误读。 与Tweed （特威德，英格兰和苏格兰边界上一条河的名字）相关联， 也促成了这种误读的形成。它最初是一个行业的名字。据说这个词最早应用于1831年，但直到1847年才有书面记录。因此，如果没有这种误读，衣着随便的样子就可能成了矫情的样子或斜纹毛呢装扮〔zamia〕from misreading of (nucēs) azāniae [pine cone (nuts)] 源自 (nucēs) azāniae的误读 [松果（坚果）] 〔acne〕probably from misreading of Greek akmē [facial eruption, point] * see acme 可能源自 希腊语 akmē的误读 [表面的溃烂，点] * 参见 acme〔gravy〕possibly a misreading of grane [stew, sauce] 可能为 grane的误读 [炖，沙司] |
