单词 alb
释义

albn.

Brit. /alb/, U.S. /ælb/
Forms: Old English alba (rare, see note below), Old English alpan (dative plural, perhaps transmission error), Old English halban (inflected form, perhaps transmission error), Old English–1800s albe, Middle English abbe, Middle English awlbe, Middle English haube, Middle English hawbe, Middle English owbe, Middle English–1600s aube, Middle English–1600s aulbe, late Middle English halbe, late Middle English nabe, late Middle English–1500s abe, late Middle English–1500s awbe, late Middle English–1500s naube, late Middle English– alb, 1500s nobe, 1500s obe; also Scottish pre-1700 ab, pre-1700 alb, pre-1700 albe.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin alba, albus; French albe.
Etymology: In early use < post-classical Latin alba white liturgical garment, white baptismal garment (6th cent.; already in the Vulgate denoting a white garment), use as noun (short for tunica alba white tunic or vestis alba white garment) of feminine of classical Latin albus white (see album n.2). In later use partly also < Anglo-Norman and Old French albe, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French aube, Anglo-Norman and Middle French aulbe (French aube ) (c1040 in this sense; < post-classical Latin alba (see above); for use in sense ‘dawn’, reflecting a different use as noun of the feminine of classical Latin albus , see alba n.2).In Old English usually a weak feminine (albe ). It is unclear whether the isolated form alba in the following quot. should be taken as a strong genitive plural, an indeclinable Latin form, or a scribal error for accusative plural alban :OE Possessions, Rents, & Grants, Bury St. Edmunds in A.

Forms with initial n- show metanalysis (see N n.).
Christian Church.
A white vestment reaching the feet and enveloping the entire body, worn by clergy, servers, and others taking part in church services. Also: †a similar garment worn by a consecrated king; a white robe worn by a person at baptism (obsolete).Later shortening of this garment gave rise to certain related vestments; cf. rochet n.1 1a, surplice n. a. [In Old English and Middle English sometimes rendering post-classical Latin poderes, poderis long robe, especially of the kind worn by Jewish priests (Vetus Latina, Vulgate), liturgical vestment, specifically an alb (from c1000 in British sources).]
