单词 alcornoque
释义

alcornoquen.

Brit. /ˌalkɔːˈnəʊki/, U.S. /ˌælkɔrˈnoʊki/
Forms: 1800s alcornocco, 1800s– alconorque, 1800s– alcornoco, 1800s– alcornoque.
Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymons: Spanish alcornoque, alconorque.
Etymology: < Spanish alcornoque, †alconorque cork oak (early 13th cent.), bark of the cork oak (a1429), in American Spanish also denoting various trees yielding a similar product, as well as their bark (1822 or earlier; 1841 or earlier denoting the plant Bowdichia virgilioides) < an unattested Spanish Arabic form < Arabic al the + an unattested post-classical Latin form *quernoccus < post-classical Latin quernus oak (use as noun of classical Latin quernus , adjective (see quernal adj.); compare classical Latin quercus oak: see quercine adj.) + an unattested post-classical Latin suffix *-occus , forming nouns with pejorative connotation ( > Spanish -ueco , suffix forming nouns with pejorative connotation). Compare French alconorque , alcornoque , denoting any of various tropical American shrubs or trees yielding a medicinal bark, and also the bark itself (1814 or earlier; compare quot. 1810, reporting an article from Gazette de la Martinique (1810) 23 June); probably < Spanish, although the Spanish word is apparently first attested later than the French one); also Portuguese †alcornoque (now alcornoco, 20th cent.) cork oak (early 13th cent.), bark of various trees of the genus Byrsonima (20th cent.; probably < Spanish).In form alcornoco apparently immediately after post-classical Latin alcornoco (1823 in Humboldt):1823 A. Bonpland & A. de Humboldt Nova genera et species plantarum VI. 295 Bowdichia virgilioides, Alcornoco incolarum. The post-classical Latin word is probably itself after Spanish alcornoque, since no form *alcornoco appears to be attested in Spanish; however, compare Italian (rare) alcornoco, denoting the bark of various American trees used for medicinal purposes (1820 ( G. Compagnoni Storia dell' America II. 213) or earlier). Compare the following earlier occurrence of the Spanish word in an English context:1577 B. Googe tr. C. Heresbach Foure Bks. Husbandry ii. 101 The like hath the Corke tree,..in Latine Suber, in Spanishe Alcornoque, in Frenche Liege, whiche is counted amongst those that beare Mast.
1. Any of various tropical American shrubs or trees yielding a medicinal bark; esp. Bowdichia virgilioides (family Fabaceae ( Leguminosae)), used also for timber.
