单词 dade
释义

daden.

Explained by Halliwell and Wright in their 1859 edition of Nares's Glossary as ‘a bird, apparently one which wades in the water’, an explanation repeated by N.E.D. (1894), but most likely a personal name.Like Swallow and Dove in quot. 1660-1, Dade is the name of a 17th-cent. almanac-maker. Except for the fact that the names of the first two almanac-makers are apparently used punningly, there is no evidence that the word ever referred to a kind of bird. See further J. T. Curtiss in Mod. Lang. Notes 42 (1927) 100–102.
ΚΠ
