单词 gold hoard
释义

gold hoardn.

Brit. /ˈɡəʊld hɔːd/, U.S. /ˈɡoʊld ˌhɔrd/
Forms: see gold n.1 and adj. and hoard n.1; also Old English goldhold (transmission error), Old English gohhordum (dative plural, transmission error), late Old English godhordum (dative plural, transmission error).
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: gold n.1, hoard n.1
Etymology: < gold n.1 + hoard n.1In early use the word frequently translates classical Latin thēsaurus in its senses ‘treasure, treasury, storehouse’ (see thesaurus n.). In this use (also found with reference to immaterial treasure) the first element of the compound reflects the assumed etymology of the Latin word (compare classical Latin aurum gold, and also Isidore's explanation in Origines 16.18.6) as much as a literal association with gold.
A hoard of gold; treasure.In quot. eOE1 in sense ‘storehouse, treasury’, rendering classical Latin thēsaurus; see discussion in etymology.
