单词 gladdon
释义

gladdonn.

/ɡlad(ə)n/
Forms: Old English gladinæ, glædene, Middle English gladene, Middle English gladyne, ( gladyn), gladone, 1500s gladin, gladyn, gladon, 1600s–1700s gladwin(e, (1800s gladwyn), 1700s glader, 1500s– gladen, gladdon, 1700s– gladden.
Etymology: Of obscure etymology; Pogatscher regards it as probably < popular Latin *gladīna, altered form of Latin gladiolus ‘sword-lily’ (Lewis & Short), diminutive of gladius sword, from the shape of the leaves. The form glader which appears in various dictionaries of the 18th cent. (Phillips, Johnson, etc.) may have been originally due to a misprint.
Now chiefly dialect.
1. A popular name of the iris ( Iris Pseudacorus and Iris fœtidissima; the latter is sometimes distinguished as ‘stinking gladdon’). corn-gladdon (quot. 1666) = corn-flag n.
