单词 dove
释义

doven.

Brit. /dʌv/, U.S. /dəv/
Forms: Middle English duve, Middle English dofe, douf(e, douff(e, dowfe, douve, dowve, doo, (Middle English doyf, 1500s doffe), Middle English– dove, (ScottishMiddle English– dow, doo, 1500s dou).
Etymology: Old English *dufe , not found (unless as first element in dúfe-doppa : see dive-dap n.); = Old Saxon dûƀa , Old Frisian dûve (Middle Dutch dûve , Dutch duif ). Old High German tûba , tûpa (Middle High German tûbe , German taube ), Old Norse dúfa (Swedish dufva , Danish due ), Gothic dûbo < Germanic *dūƀōn , weak feminine. Perhaps a derivative of duƀ- to dive, dip (see dive n.): compare the analogous connection of Latin columba with Greek κόλυμβος diver, κολυμβίς diver (bird). In Old English the name was displaced by culufre : see culver n.1
1.
a. A bird of the Columbidæ, or pigeon family.Formerly, and still in dialects (dove, dow, doo) applied to all the species of pigeon native to or known in Britain, including the Wood pigeon, Ring-dove, or Cushat-dove, the Rock-dove or Rock pigeon, the Stock-dove, and the Turtle-dove; but now often restricted to the last, and its congeners. Most of the exotic species are called pigeons, e.g. the Passenger-pigeon of America, dove being restricted to those which in appearance or habits resemble the turtle-doves. The dove has been, from the institution of Christianity, the type of gentleness and harmlessness, and occupies an important place in Christian symbolism: cf. sense 2.
