单词 filth
释义

filthn.

Brit. /fɪlθ/, U.S. /fɪlθ/
Forms: Old English felþ (rare), Old English filð (rare), Old English fylþ, Old English fylð, Old English fylðe (rare), Old English fylðes (genitive, probably transmission error), early Middle English felðe, early Middle English filde, early Middle English fulde, early Middle English fulðe, Middle English felthe, Middle English felþe, Middle English feolþe, Middle English filliþ, Middle English filþe, Middle English fulte, Middle English fulþe, Middle English fuylþe, Middle English fylþe, Middle English uelþe (south-eastern), Middle English velþ (south-eastern), Middle English veolthe (west midlands), Middle English–1500s fylth, Middle English–1500s fylthe, Middle English–1600s filthe, Middle English– filth, 1500s faylt, 1500s fylt; also Scottish pre-1700 feilth, pre-1700 filith, pre-1700 fyltht.
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with Old Dutch fūlitha decay, moral corruption, Old Saxon fūlitha decay (Middle Low German vǖlede , vǖlde decay, dirt), Old High German fūlida stench, decay, depravity (Middle High German vūlde decay, that which is decayed) < the Germanic base of foul adj. + the Germanic base of -th suffix1. Compare also Old High German fūlido that which is decayed (masculine n-stem; rare).In Old English a strong feminine (ō -stem); an isolated occurrence of an apparent strong masculine or neuter genitive singular form fylðes probably represents a scribal error.
1.
†a. Originally: decay or decayed tissue within the body. In later use also: mucus, blood, or another body fluid, esp. when considered unclean; spec. pus. Obsolete.
