单词 club-halfpenny
释义

club-halfpennyn.

Etymology: The only senses of club n. known to go back to 1550 are 1, 2, and 8, with all of which the notion of play is compatible. The senses of combination, association, contribution, etc. are all later, as is the verb itself, so that no notion of clubbing halfpennies appears tenable.
Obsolete. rare.
Known only in the following passage: perhaps a figurative use of the name of some game, or trial of strength or skill.
