单词 cockshoot
释义

cockshootn.

Forms:

α. Middle English cockeshote, Middle English–1500s cokshote, 1500s cockesshote, 1500s cockshoote, 1500s–1600s cockshoot, 1600s cockeshoot, 1600s cockeshoote.

β. Middle English cokshete.

γ. Middle English–1500s cockshott, 1500s cockeshot.

δ. 1500s cokshut.

Etymology: < cock n.1 (compare sense 7a at that entry) + either shute n.1 or the related shoot n.1 or shote n., probably with reference to the flight of the bird.The word is very common in place names (frequently minor place names, and frequently in combination with other elements, and also in derived surnames). Place-name evidence implies earlier currency of the word, as well as indicating that the earliest form of the word probably showed shute n.1 rather than shoot n.1 or shote n. Compare e.g. Koksute (a1200, Lancashire), Cocscute (a1240, Worcestershire), La Cockesete (1270, Shropshire), Kokschite , Cokschete (both a1272, Derbyshire), Cocschete (c1280, Gloucestershire), de Cokschute (surname, 1296, Sussex), Cocschute (13th cent., Gloucestershire), Koksot (late 13th cent., West Riding, Yorkshire). In later use the word has frequently been associated with cockshut n., which may have influenced the form history. Any association with shot n.1 25 is probably secondary.
Obsolete.
A broad woodland glade or track along which woodcock (or other game birds) regularly fly, and across which nets are stretched in order to catch the birds. Also occasionally in extended use. Cf. cock-road n.
