释义

codlingn.1

Brit. /ˈkɒdlɪŋ/, U.S. /ˈkɑdlɪŋ/
Forms: Middle English coddelyng, Middle English codelyng, Middle English codelynge, Middle English codlinge, Middle English codlynd, Middle English kodeling, Middle English kodelyng, Middle English kodling, Middle English kodlyng, Middle English–1500s codlyng, Middle English–1500s codlynge, Middle English– codling, 1500s kodlynge, 1500s quodling, 1600s codlin; Scottish pre-1700 codling, pre-1700 codlyng, pre-1700 coidleng, pre-1700 kodlein.
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: cod n.1, -ling suffix1.
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps < cod n.1 + -ling suffix1. Compare cod n.2 and codfish n., which may both derive ultimately from this word.The original sense was perhaps ‘fish found in the cod end of a trawl net’: compare cod n.1 5a and cod net n. at cod n.1 Compounds. As a demersal fish, cod was made more accessible by the development of the trawling technology, and would have been found often in the cod ends of trawl nets. (Perhaps compare similarly dogdrave n.) Earlier currency is implied by the following example, showing a Latin borrowing of the English word:1289 in J. Webb Househ. Expenses R. de Swinfield (1853) 31 In .v..xx. x. codling' empt' Glouc' xvij.s. Perhaps attested earlier as a surname: Robert Codling (1275, Lincolnshire).
1. Originally: the Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua (obsolete). In later use: a young or small cod.The name probably sometimes included allied species of smaller size.redware codling, rock codling: see the first element.
