单词 abarstic
释义

abarsticadj.

Forms: 1600s abarsticke, 1600s–1700s abarstick.
Origin: Of unknown origin.
Etymology: Origin unknown. Apparently related to classical Latin abartia (see abarcy n.; compare quot. 1677), but if so the -s- in the word stem is difficult to account for, and may reflect a transmission error. Compare -ic suffix.Derivation < a- prefix6 + barst , variant of burst v. (first tentatively suggested by S. Skinner (a1667) and also cited in quot. 1717) is unlikely on formal and semantic grounds. Compare the following note, commenting on the word's rarity: 1671 S. Skinner & T. Henshaw Etymologicon Vocum Omnium Antiquarum Anglicarum in Etymologicon Linguæ Anglicanæ Abarstick, vox quæ mihi in solo Dict Angl. occurrit..nunquam vel lecta vel audita, exponitur autem insatiabilis [‘a word which in my experience only occurs in Dict. Angl. (i.e. E. Phillips, New World Eng. Words 1658).., it is never either read or heard; however, it is explained as meaning insatiable’].
Obsolete. rare. Apparently only attested in dictionaries or glossaries.
Insatiable.
