单词 larboard
释义

larboardn.adv.adj.

Brit. /ˈlɑːbɔːd/, /ˈlabəd/, U.S. /ˈlɑrˌbɔrd/, /ˈlæbərd/
Forms: α. Middle English ladde-borde, Middle English ladeborde, latheborde, latebord. β. 1500s larborde, lerbord, leereboord, 1500s–1600s larbo(o)rd, 1600s lubbord, 1600s– larboard.
Etymology: Middle English lad(d)eborde , latheborde , altered in the 16th cent. into ler- , leere- , larbord , by form-association with the contemporary ster- , -steere- , starbord . The second component is Old English bord , Old Norse borðe , ship's side (board n. 12); the origin of the first component, which appears as ladde-, lade, lathe-, late-, has not been determined.Some would connect it with lade v., taking it to mean ‘the side on which cargo was received’, or on which deck cargo was placed. In Old English the corresponding term was bæcbord ; this did not survive into Middle English, though its etymological equivalent still remains in all the modern continental Germanic tongues, and was adopted into Romance (French bâbord ). The word seems to have meant ‘the side at the back of the steersman’; the rudder or steering-paddle of early Germanic ships having been worked over the right side, whence the name stéorbord ‘steering-side’, starboard n., adj., and adv.
Nautical.
A. n. (and adv.)
a. The side of a ship which is to the left hand of a person looking from the stern towards the bows. Opposed to starboard. (Frequently in phrases without the article, as †on, †by, †a, to larboard.)The term has now been discarded in the navy and supplanted by port, to avoid confusion with the similar-sounding starboard.
