单词 doggerel
释义

doggereladj.n.

Brit. /ˈdɒɡ(ə)rəl/, /ˈdɒɡ(ə)rl̩/, U.S. /ˈdɔɡ(ə)rəl/, /ˈdɑɡ(ə)rəl/
Forms:

α. late Middle English 1600s dogerel, 1500s–1600s dogerell, 1500s–1600s doggerell, 1500s– doggerel, 1600s doggeril, 1600s doggerill.

β. late Middle English–1700s dogrel, 1500s–1600s doggrell, 1500s–1800s dogrell, 1600s doggrill, 1600s dogril, 1600s–1700s doggril, 1600s–1700s dogrill, 1600s– doggrel.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: dog n.1, -rel suffix.
Etymology: Probably < dog n.1 (compare dog n.1 Compounds 1f) + -erel, variant of -rel suffix. Compare doggery n. 1.Earlier currency is probably implied by surnames: Nicholas Doggerel (1249), William Doggerel (1277), John Dogerel (1300). These presumably reflect a nickname, but the exact meaning is unclear, perhaps simply ‘little dog’.
A. adj.
a. Of verse: comic, burlesque, and usually composed in irregular rhythm. Also: (of verse or writing) badly composed or expressed; trivial.In early use chiefly as postmodifier, esp. in rhyme doggerel.
