单词 crannock
释义

crannockn.

Forms: Also 1500s crennock, crenneke, krenneke, cren-, cryn-, crineoke (all in Shuttleworth Accts. Chetham Soc.).
Etymology: See curnock n. Formerly often latinized as crannocus, -acus, crannoca. In Ireland the word was apparently identified with the native word crannog (see crannog n.), whence in Irish Dictionaries ‘hamper’ appears as one of the senses of the latter.
Obsolete.
The name of a dry measure formerly in use in Wales, the West of England, and Ireland. It varied greatly in different places, and according to the commodity. For corn, the crannock of 2 or 4 bushels is mentioned; for salt it appears to have been much larger.
