单词 coterie
释义

coterien.

/ˈkəʊtəri/
Forms: Also 1700s cotery, cotterie.
Etymology: < French coterie ‘a company of people who live in familiarity, or who cabal in a common interest’ (Littré), originally ‘a certain number of peasants united together to hold land from a lord’; ‘companie, societie, association of countrey people’ (Cotgrave), < cotier = medieval Latin cotārius, coterius cottar, tenant of a cota or cot. Compare French cotterie ‘a base, ignoble, and seruile tenure, or tenement, not held in fee, and yeelding only rent, or if more, but cens or surcens at most’ (Cotgrave). By Walker and Smart stressed on the last syllable as French: the latter has the o short; whence the 18th cent. cotterie, and its rhyming in Byron with lottery.
