单词 dismayd
释义

dismaydadj.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: dis- prefix, made adj.
Etymology: Probably < dis- prefix + made adj. (compare β. forms at make v.1), perhaps as an alteration of mismade adj.No recent authoritative edition of Faerie Queene emends dismayd to mismade . Suggestions that this word could instead show a specific semantic development of dismayed adj. are unconvincing.
Apparently: mis-shapen.
ΚΠ
1590 E. Spenser Faerie Queene ii. xi. sig. Y8v Whose hideous shapes were like to feendes of hell, Some like to houndes, some like to Apes, dismayd.
