释义

fleur-de-lisflower-de-lucen.

/fləːdəˈliː//fləːdəˈliːs/ /ˌflaʊədᵻˈluːs/
Forms: α. Middle English–1500s flour(e-de-lys(e, flour(e-de-lice, flour(e-de-lyce, (plural flour(e-de-lycis), 1600s flour(e-de-lis, Middle English–1600s flour(e-de-luce, plural flour(e-de-luces, 1500s floredelise, ScottishMiddle English flour(e-the-lis, flour(e-the-lys. β. 1500s–1800s flower-, (1500s flowre-) de-luce, (plural -luces), 1500s–1600s -lice, (plural -lices), 1500s -lyce, 1700s -lys, 1600s–1800s -lis. γ. 1700s–1800s fleur-de-lys, 1800s fleur-de-lis, plural 1600s fleur-de-lysses, fleur-de-lyzes, 1800s fleurs-de-lis, fleurs-de-lys, fleurs-de-luce.
Etymology: The prevailing form is < modern French fleur de lis /flœr də lis/, formerly lys; but this form is scarcely found in English before the 19th cent.; see above. The form flower-de-luce survives as a poetical archaism and in U.S. The French is literally ‘lily-flower’ < lis, formerly lys, in Old French liz for lils lily, the s of the nominative singular being retained in the oblique cases; the English spelling de-lice, de-lyce, was in its origin merely graphic (compare price, mice, syce, etc.), but in the 16th cent. was associated with a fanciful etymology flos deliciæ, and the form deluce, de luce apparently also leaned upon a fanciful derivation. Occasional English forms were deluce, delyce flowre.
