单词 childing
释义

childingn.

Brit. /ˈtʃʌɪldɪŋ/, U.S. /ˈtʃaɪldɪŋ/
Forms: Middle English childeng, Middle English childenge, Middle English childinge, Middle English childingue, Middle English childinke, Middle English childyng, Middle English childynge, Middle English chiltting, Middle English chiltyng, Middle English chyldyng, Middle English–1500s chyldynge, Middle English– childing; also Scottish pre-1700 childyne.
Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: child n., -ing suffix1; child v., -ing suffix1.
Etymology: Probably partly < (i) child n. + -ing suffix1, and partly < (ii) child v. + -ing suffix1.Earlier currency is perhaps shown by the following example, assuming that it shows a scribal error for an (otherwise unattested) Old English compound cildungwīf woman in labour, or who has recently given birth:OE Antwerp-London Gloss. (2011) 48 Puerpera, cildiung wif. Compare also Old English cildsung childishness (one isolated attestation; apparently < an unattested weak verb *cildsian ( < child n. + Old English -sian , suffix forming verbs from adjectives and nouns) + -ung -ing suffix1).
Now archaic.
The act of giving birth to a child; childbearing, parturition, delivery.In quot. a1425 also: the process of being born.
