释义

creeln.1

Brit. /kriːl/, U.S. /kril/

Etymology: Originally northern, and chiefly Scotch; etymology uncertain. The Old Irish criol chest, coffer, has been compared: but the vowel of creel appears to be not ī, but ē or ei, ai. Old French greille < Latin crāticula fine hurdle-work, may have had a variant *creille.
