单词 aggrievance
释义

aggrievancen.

Brit. /əˈɡriːvns/, U.S. /əˈɡriv(ə)ns/
Forms: Middle English aggreuauns, Middle English–1500s aggreuaunce, Middle English–1500s agreuaunce, 1500s–1600s aggreeuance, 1500s–1600s aggreuance, 1500s–1600s aggrieuance, 1500s–1600s agreeuance, 1500s–1600s agreuance, 1600s aggreivance, 1600s aggrevance, 1600s aggrieuaunce, 1600s agreevance, 1600s agreivance, 1600s agrevance, 1600s agrievantes (North American, plural, perhaps transmission error), 1600s– aggrievance, 1600s– agrievance.
Origin: Partly a borrowing from French. Perhaps also partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: French agrevaunz ; French aggrevance ; grievance n.
Etymology: In sense 1a either an alteration of grievance n. after aggrieve v., or perhaps < Anglo-Norman agrevaunz (plural noun) grievance, complaint (although this is apparently first attested later: mid 15th cent. or earlier; < agrever aggrieve v. + -aunt -ant suffix1). In later use < Middle French aggrevance, agrevance torment, vexation (c1200 in Old French), burden, hardship (first half of the 14th cent.) < aggrever , agrever aggrieve v. + -ance -ance suffix. In sense 3 after Middle French aggravance (?1485 in the passage translated in quot. 1502), variant (with alteration after aggraver aggrave v.) of aggrevance, agrevance (see above); compare aggrieve v. 2.
