单词 gameling
释义

gamelingn.

Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymon: -ing suffix1.
Etymology: Probably < an unattested verb *gamel + -ing suffix1. The form *gamel probably showed either a frequentative derivative formation < game v. + -le suffix 3, or a variant of game v. (compare α. forms at game v.). Compare later gamble v., and see further discussion at that entry of later forms in regional varieties that probably ultimately show the same or similar origin.
Obsolete.
The playing of games; (perhaps) gambling.
ΘΚΠ
society > leisure > entertainment > pastimes > game > [noun] > playing
