释义

grizzlyn.2

Brit. /ˈɡrɪzli/, U.S. /ˈɡrɪzli/
Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: grizzly n.1
Etymology: Probably a specific sense development of grizzly n.1, perhaps with reference to tungsten bars (which could substitute for iron bars in a grizzly) being made in Canada, which is a habitat of the grizzly bear (compare quot. 1989).
Mining (originally U.S.).
A grating of parallel iron bars with interstices between to allow the finer material to fall into the sluices below while the larger stones are screened off.
