单词 choller
释义

chollern.

Forms: Also chiller, chuller, churl (Jam.), choler.
Etymology: perhaps < Old English ceolur, ceolres throat, cognate with Old High German kelur strong masculine < Old Germanic type keluro- , kelro- , from same root as kelôn- , whence Old High German chela (modern German kehle ), Old English ceole (see chel n.). For the form, compare Old English weolur lip, Old Saxon lepor lip. The variant chiller might go back to the oblique form, genitive *cielr-es (see Sievers Ags. Gr. 75 Anm. 3). But the late appearance of the word is an element of difficulty; and it is not impossible that it may be related to cholle jowl n.1
dialect and Scottish.
