单词 headwark
释义

headwarkn.

Brit. /ˈhɛdˌwɑːk/, U.S. /ˈhɛdˌwɑrk/
Forms: Old English heafodwærc, Old English heafodwræc, late Middle English hedewarb (transmission error), late Middle English hedewerk, late Middle English hedwarke, late Middle English hedwerk, late Middle English heedwarke, late Middle English heedwerk, late Middle English heedwerke, late Middle English heuedwerke, 1500s headwork, 1600s– headwark, 1900s– headwarch; English regional (chiefly northern) 1800s headwarke, 1800s headwerk, 1800s heedwark, 1800s yedwartch (Lancashire), 1800s– heeadwark, 1800s– yeadwartch (Lancashire), 1800s– yedwarch (Lancashire), 1800s– yedwark; also Scottish pre-1700 headworke, pre-1700 hedeverk, pre-1700 heidwark, pre-1700 heidwerk.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: head n.1, wark n.1
Etymology: < head n.1 + wark n.1 Compare Old Icelandic hǫfuðverkr , Old Swedish hovudhvärker (Swedish huvudvärk ), both in sense ‘headache’. In later use perhaps partly after the early Scandinavian compound (compare discussion at wark n.1). Compare headache n.In Old English probably with palatalization and assibilation of the final consonant (resulting in the affricate //; compare Middle English warche at wark n.1 Forms). Surv. Eng. Dial. records pronunciations indicative of the form headwarch from Lancashire and Derbyshire, and of the form headwark from Northumberland, Durham, Cumberland, Westmorland, Lancashire, and Yorkshire; compare the distribution shown by Ling. Atlas Eng. (1978) (L46). The Old English form heafodwræc shows metathesis of r in the second element. In forms such as headworke the second element apparently shows alteration after work n. (compare work n. 24).
Now English regional (chiefly northern).
