单词 culye
释义

culyeculȝev.

Forms: Also 1500s cuilȝe.
Etymology: apparently the same as cully v.1, and like it related to cull v.2; but the form seems to represent French cueillir: compare Scots assalȝe, assailȝe, French assaillir.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈculye.
Scottish ? Obsolete.
To cherish, coax, draw forth by coaxing or flattery.
