单词 charless wain
释义

Charles's Wainn.

Forms: Old English carles-wǽn, Middle English Cherlemaynes-wayne, Middle English Charlmons wayn, carle wensterre, carwaynesterre, Charelwayn, Charlewayn, 1500s Charle wane, 1500s–1600s Charles wayne or waine, 1600s Charles or Carol's wain(e, Charlemagne or Charles his wane, wain(e, Charle-waine, Charlmaigne Wain, 1600s– Charles's Wain.
Etymology: Old English Carles wægn the wain (ἄμαξα, plaustrum) of Carl (Charles the Great, Charlemagne). The name appears to arise out of the verbal association of the star-name Arcturus with Arturus or Arthur, and the legendary association of Arthur and Charlemagne; so that what was originally the wain of Arcturus or Boötes (‘Boötes' golden wain’ Pope), became at length the wain of Carl or Charlemagne. (The guess churl's or carle's wain has been made in ignorance of the history.)
The asterism comprising the seven bright stars in Ursa Major; known also as The Plough.As the name Arcturus was formerly sometimes applied loosely to the constellation Boötes and to the Great Bear, the name Carlewayne-sterre occurs applied to the star Arcturus.
