释义

countrymann.

Brit. /ˈkʌntrɪmən/, U.S. /ˈkəntrimən/
Inflections: Plural countrymen.
Forms: see country n. and adj. and man n.1
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: country n., man n.1
Etymology: < country n. + man n.1Earlier currency of this word (and of country n.) is perhaps suggested by the following surname, although this is an isolated name form, and the identity of the first element is not certain (compare e.g. counter n.2 and variants at that entry):1279 in W. Illingworth Rotuli Hundredorum (1818) II. 576 Johannes Contreman.
1. A person (esp. a man) who lives or was born in a rural area, or who has a rural occupation, appearance, or manner.In early use perhaps: a person who lives in the territory immediately outside a walled town or city: cf. country n. 3.
