单词 envelop
释义

envelopv.

Brit. /ᵻnˈvɛləp/, /ɛnˈvɛləp/, U.S. /ənˈvɛləp/, /ɛnˈvɛləp/
Forms: α. Middle English envolupe(n, -ipe(n, 1600s–1700s envellop, 1500s– envelop(e. β. 1500s involup, 1600s–1700s invellop(e, 1500s–1700s invelop(e.
Etymology: < Old French envolupe-r, enveloper (modern envelopper ) = Provençal envolupar , envelopar , < en- (see en- prefix1) + *volup- , *velop- , cognate with Italian viluppo bundle, whence inviluppare to envelope. Compare develop v., voluper n.The Romanic base volup- , vilup- is of obscure origin; some regard it as Germanic, comparing Middle English wlappen to lap v.2, wrap, which, however, is not known outside English, and is by Prof. Skeat regarded as an altered form of wrap. Diez suggested that a late Latin *volutuāre ( < volvĕre to roll) became *voluppāre, but the analogies offered for this phonetic process are unsatisfactory.
