单词 cowde
释义

cowdecowdn.

Etymology: Possibly = French coude ( < Latin cubitus) of which the primary sense was ‘elbow’, whence ‘corner, angle’. The Winchester MS. of Promp. Parv. refers to Ugucio, conus; Du Cange has conus = corner, angle. (There was also a mediæval confusion of conus and cuneus, both being taken as = French coin; Du Cange has cuneus a form of bread: compare German Wecke wedge, and roll of bread.)
Obsolete.
