单词 dedeign
释义

dedeignv.2

Forms: Middle English–1500s dedeynȝe, dedeinȝe, Middle English dedyne, 1500s dedeyne, dedenȝe, deden(e, dedane, deding.
Etymology: A derivative of deign v., in which the prefix de- appears to be taken in the sense ‘down’ (de- prefix 1a), so as to strengthen the notion of condescension; or which may have arisen by confusion of dedeign (= disdain) with deign. It seems to be confined to Scotch, and to have no analogies in French or Latin.
Scottish. Obsolete.
1. = deign v. 1 (In first quot. impersonal)
ΘΚΠ
the mind > language > speech > agreement > consent > [verb (intransitive)] > deign
