单词 copintank
释义

copintankcopentankcoptankn.

Forms: see below.
Etymology: A word of obscure origin and history, appearing also in the form copping- and copid tank , with the related adjectives coptanct and copple-tanked . Apparently the same word also occurs in Shakespeare (1st Folio) as copataine n.Nothing similar is known in Dutch or the Romanic languages; although Latin capitāneus chief in size, large, or capitium, caputium head-covering, cap, Dutch kop top, head, have been suggested as more or less possible explanations of part of the word. That it is really connected with the English group cop, copped, copple, is favoured by the variants, and by Horman's use of coppid cappis in the same sense as the coppid-, copping-, copin-tankes of the quots. But tank still remains unexplained. The English word tank is out of the question, being of recent introduction from India; of tankard no simple form tank is known.
Obsolete.
a. A high-crowned hat of the form of a sugar-loaf. Cf.
1519 W. Horman Vulgaria x. f. 111 Somtyme men were coppid cappis like a suger lofe.
