释义

costardn.1

Brit. /ˈkɒstəd/, /ˈkʌstəd/, U.S. /ˈkɑstərd/
Forms: Middle English–1500s costerd, Middle English– costard, 1500s costarde, 1500s costerde.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin costardum; French costard.
Etymology: < (i) post-classical Latin costardum (from c1260 in British sources; compare pomum costardum (from 1300 in British sources)), and its apparent etymon (ii) Anglo-Norman costard (adjective) designating a kind of apple (13th cent. or earlier in pome costarde ), probably < coste rib (see coast n.) + -ard -ard suffix, with allusion to the appearance of the apple. Compare costermonger n.It is unclear whether the following earlier quot. should be taken as showing the Middle English, the Latin, or the Anglo-Norman word in a Latin linguistic context:1292 Acct. Exchequer King's Remembrancer (P.R.O.: E101/353/3) m. 14 Item iijc pom. costard prec. cent. xij d.
1. A large apple with prominent ribs or ridges, often described as having a pale green or red-flushed skin; a tree producing such an apple. The costard was seldom recorded as an extant apple variety after the mid 1850’s, but was reintroduced at the end of the 20th cent., at a time of revival of interest in traditional British apples.
