单词 dung gate
释义

dung gaten.

Brit. /ˈdʌŋ ɡeɪt/, U.S. /ˈdəŋ ˌɡeɪt/
Forms: see dung n.1 and gate n.1; also 1600s doungate.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; originally modelled on a Hebrew lexical item. Etymons: dung n.1, gate n.1
Etymology: < dung n.1 + gate n.1 In sense 1 ultimately after Hebrew šaʿar ha-'ašpōṯ (Nehemiah 12:31), lit. ‘gate of the refuse heap, gate of the dunghill’, denoting one of the gates of Jerusalem in biblical times; the English use is perhaps immediately after early modern German mistthor (1523 in Luther's translation of the Bible). Compare dung port n. at dung n.1 Compounds 2.The location of the biblical Dung Gate is unclear; it appears to have been so called on account of the refuse that was taken out from the Temple to be burned. In the Wycliffite Bible it is called drit ȝate , ȝate of drit (compare dirt n.), ȝate of the dunge hil; the Vulgate has porta Sterquilinii, lit. ‘gate of the dunghill’.
1. A gate through which dung and refuse are removed from a place (esp. a town or city); esp. (the name of) such a gate in the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. Often with capital initial(s).The opening in the south wall of the Old City of Jerusalem currently referred to as the Dung Gate was built under Ottoman rule in the sixteenth cent; the Dung Gate of Biblical times (see quot. 1535) may have been located elsewhere.
