单词 cleavers
释义

cleaversn.

Brit. /ˈkliːvəz/, U.S. /ˈklivərz/ /ˈklɪvəz/
Forms: Middle English cliure, clyure, 1500s–1600s clyuer, cleuer ( cleuer grasse), 1600s cleauer, clauer, (? clives), 1500s–1800s cliver; 1500s cleeuers, 1500s–1600s clyuers, 1500s–1800s clivers, 1600s–1800s cleavers.
Etymology: In Old English clife (= Old High German chliba , Low German klive , klieve , < root of clifian to adhere, stick) was applied to the burdock, and smæle clife to Galium Aparine. The Middle English representative of this would be clĭve . Instead of it, either by confusion with cliver , clivre ‘claw, talon’, or as agent noun from the verb clive , cleave v.2, we find from 15th cent. clivre, cliver, and at a later date, cleavers, as if ‘things which cleave’. (Upper German has kleber, klebere (Grimm 1050), German klebekraut, East Frisian klîf, in same sense. Compare also Dutch klijve, kleve, ‘lappa’, bur-dock, and ‘kliff ivy’, Kilian.
The climbing plant Galium Aparine or Goosegrass, which adheres by its minute hooked bristles to hedges or shrubs, the clothes of passers-by, etc.
