单词 charcoal
释义

charcoaln.

Brit. /ˈtʃɑːkəʊl/, U.S. /ˈtʃɑrˌkoʊl/
Forms: Middle English–1600s charcole, Middle English charcolle, charkole, 1500s chark(e cole, ( colle, coole), cherke cole, charecole, 1600s charcoll, charcoale, charecoale, char-cole, charcoale, charr-coale, 1600s–1700s char-coal, 1600s– charcoal.
Etymology: The first element is of uncertain origin; from the earliest instances it appears to be char ; charke , cherke , found from beg. of 16th cent., being apparently due to metanalysis of the spoken word, and having no independent origin or meaning, though afterwards (in 17th cent.) used as an independent word. A current suggestion is that char- is an application of chare v.1 or chare n.1, as if turn-coal, i.e. wood turned or converted into coal; but for this no actual evidence has been found. The name ‘coal’ itself originally meant ‘charcoal’ (collier being a ‘charcoal-burner’), and no satisfactory explanation appears of the introduction of the name charcoal in the same sense, especially as there is no contemporary reference to ‘earth-coal’, ‘stone-coal’, ‘pit-coal’, or ‘sea-coal’ (as mineral coal was, for various reasons, called). See coal n.
1.
a. The black porous pulverizable substance, consisting (when pure) wholly of carbon, obtained as the solid residue in the imperfect combustion of wood, bones, and other vegetable or animal matter. Hence specified as animal charcoal, wood charcoal; vegetable charcoal. †pit charcoal, coke (obsolete).
