单词 abave
释义 aˈbave, v. Obs.
Also abaue, abaw(e.
[Prob. a. OFr. abaub-ir, abab-ir to astonish, confound, frighten, disconcert, repr. L. ad to + balb-um stammering. No Fr. form abavir is cited by Godef., but its rise from ababir would be regular. The derivation from Fr. esbah-ir, sometimes proposed, does not account for the final -ave, -aue, -awe.]
trans. To put to confusion, discomfit; also intr. (rare) to be confounded (Fr. s'abaubir).
