luffn.¹

Brit.

/lʌf/, U.S.

/ləf/

Forms: Middle English lof, (plural lofes, Middle English loves), Middle English lofe, Middle English, 1700s loff, Middle English louffe, lowffe, 1600s loufe; 1500s–1600s loofe, looff(e, Scottish luif(e, Middle English–1800s loof; 1500s luf(fe, 1500s–1600s lufe, Middle English– luff.

Etymology: Early Middle English lof , loof , apparently < Old French lof (Wace, 12th cent.), later louf, used in sense 1 below. Senses 2 – 4 are common to various modern languages: French lof , Spanish ló , Portuguese ló , Dutch loef (whence Low German loff , German luv , Danish luv , Swedish luf ). The manner of their development is obscure, and it is uncertain whether they originated in French, English, or (? most probably) Dutch Sense 5 is peculiar to English, and it is not easy to connect it with any of the other senses. Certain other meanings which the word has had in Dutch and French need to be accounted for before any hypothesis as to the primitive meaning and sense-development can be regarded as satisfactory. In early modern Dutch loef , loeve is explained as ‘thole-pin’ (scalmus , Kilian). In the 17th cent. the French lof or loo is stated to mean ‘the distance from the mast to the place on the side to which the sheet is fastened when the vessel is close-hauled’. (See the quot. from Nicot in Godefroy, s.v.) In the existing uncertainty as to the primary meaning, the ultimate etymology remains obscure; the current view that it represents a Germanic word cognate with Old Norse lófe palm, loof n.¹, depends on the doubtful assumption that the ‘lof’ of sense 1 was a steering paddle.

Nautical.

†1. ? Some implement or contrivance for altering the course of a ship. Phrases, to turn, wend the luff (= Anglo-Latin obliquare dracenam), to change one's course; also figurative. Obsolete.Commonly supposed to have been either a rudder or a paddle to assist in steering. Comparison with the various senses which the word has had in English and other languages (see above) suggests that it may have been some kind of machine for operating on the sails.

单词	luff
释义	luffn.¹ Brit. /lʌf/, U.S. /ləf/ Forms: Middle English lof, (plural lofes, Middle English loves), Middle English lofe, Middle English, 1700s loff, Middle English louffe, lowffe, 1600s loufe; 1500s–1600s loofe, looff(e, Scottish luif(e, Middle English–1800s loof; 1500s luf(fe, 1500s–1600s lufe, Middle English– luff. Etymology: Early Middle English lof , loof , apparently < Old French lof (Wace, 12th cent.), later louf, used in sense 1 below. Senses 2 – 4 are common to various modern languages: French lof , Spanish ló , Portuguese ló , Dutch loef (whence Low German loff , German luv , Danish luv , Swedish luf ). The manner of their development is obscure, and it is uncertain whether they originated in French, English, or (? most probably) Dutch Sense 5 is peculiar to English, and it is not easy to connect it with any of the other senses. Certain other meanings which the word has had in Dutch and French need to be accounted for before any hypothesis as to the primitive meaning and sense-development can be regarded as satisfactory. In early modern Dutch loef , loeve is explained as ‘thole-pin’ (scalmus , Kilian). In the 17th cent. the French lof or loo is stated to mean ‘the distance from the mast to the place on the side to which the sheet is fastened when the vessel is close-hauled’. (See the quot. from Nicot in Godefroy, s.v.) In the existing uncertainty as to the primary meaning, the ultimate etymology remains obscure; the current view that it represents a Germanic word cognate with Old Norse lófe palm, loof n.¹, depends on the doubtful assumption that the ‘lof’ of sense 1 was a steering paddle. Nautical. †1. ? Some implement or contrivance for altering the course of a ship. Phrases, to turn, wend the luff (= Anglo-Latin obliquare dracenam), to change one's course; also figurative. Obsolete.Commonly supposed to have been either a rudder or a paddle to assist in steering. Comparison with the various senses which the word has had in English and other languages (see above) suggests that it may have been some kind of machine for operating on the sails.
