单词 engrail
释义

engrailv.

Brit. /ᵻnˈɡreɪl/, /ɛnˈɡreɪl/, /ᵻŋˈɡreɪl/, /ɛŋˈɡreɪl/, U.S. /ᵻnˈɡreɪl/, /ɛnˈɡreɪl/
Forms: α. Middle English engrele, Middle English engreyl, engrale, 1500s–1600s engraile, engrayl, 1500s– engrail. β. Middle English ingrayl, 1500s–1600s ingrail, ingrale, ingreyl, (1500s ingrele).
Etymology: Middle English engrele , < Old French engresle-r (modern French engrêler ), commonly believed to be < en- (see en- prefix1) + gresle, grêle hail. The original sense would thus be ‘to pit or indent as by a shower of hail.’ The writer of the Book of St. Albans (see quot. 1486 at engrailed adj. 1a) supposed that the word was derived < gree (Latin gradus ) step, and hence he gives ingradatus as the Latin equivalent of ‘engrailed.’ Compare engraded adj.
