释义

jorumn.

Brit. /ˈdʒɔːrəm/, U.S. /ˈdʒoʊrəm/, /ˈdʒɔrəm/
Etymology: Origin uncertain. It has been conjectured to be the same as the name of Joram who ‘brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass’, 2 Sam. viii. 10. Compare jeroboam n. (It can scarcely be connected with West Flemish djooren, djoorn, half a pint.)
a. A large drinking-bowl or vessel; also, the contents of this; esp. a bowl of punch.
