单词 ciclatoun
释义

ciclatounn.

Forms: Middle English ciclatun(e, Middle English (1800s Historical) ciclatoun, Middle English siclatoun, sikelatoun, syclatoun, Middle English sicladoun, siklatoun, ciclatoune, syclatowne, syklatown, 1500s shecklaton, checklaton n.
Etymology: < Old French ciclaton, -un, chiclaton, ciglaton, siglaton, segleton , senglaton , singlaton ; also in Spanish ciclaton , Provençal sisclato (Diez), also Middle High German ciclât , ziklât , siglât , and siklatîn . The source of the names found in most European languages in the Middle Ages, appears to have been Arabic (originally Persian) siqilāṭūn , also siqilāṭ , siqalāṭ , saqalāṭ , (according to Mr. J. Platts) < siqillāṭ , siqallāṭ , for saqirlāṭ , saqarlāṭ , Arabicized form of Persian sakarlāt , the same word which has given scarlet n. and adj. The primary meaning was ‘scarlet cloth’, later ‘fine painted or figured cloth’, ‘cloth of gold’. Diez took ciclaton as a derivative of Latin cyclas-adem, < Greek κυκλάς, -άδα, ‘a state robe of women with a border running round it’. Dozy, Suppl. Arab. Lex., appears to derive the Arabic < cyclas. Du Cange also identified cyclas and ciclatun, and it is possible that the two words were, from their similarity, confused in Europe in the Middle Ages. Compare cyclatum in Du Cange.
Obsolete.
a. A precious material much esteemed in the Middle Ages; in the first quot. perhaps ‘scarlet cloth’; in others it is cloth of gold or other rich material. Perhaps sometimes, a robe or mantle of this stuff (cf. Godefroy).
