单词 mackly
释义

macklyadv.

Forms: late Middle English makly; Scottish pre-1700 makly.
Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from early Scandinavian. Or (ii) formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: mack adj., -ly suffix2.
Etymology: Either < early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic makliga fitly, properly), or independently < mack adj. + -ly suffix2. Eng. Dial. Dict. presents at make n.1 evidence from W. Howson Curiosities of Craven (1850) for an adverb mackly , glossed by Howson ‘most likely’, which Eng. Dial. Dict. takes implicitly as a derivative of make n.2 (and Howson explicitly as a derivative of make v.1), but which could perhaps show a continuation of the present word. See also Eng. Dial. Dict. at make n.1 for the regional adjectives makerly , mackerly , macky , mackly , makly , mack-like , and also Sc. National Dict. at mack adj. for the two last-mentioned. Compare also Old English macalic (adjective), attested only in the Lindisfarne and Rushworth Bible glosses:OE (Northumbrian) Lindisf. Gospels: Mark vi. 21 Cum dies oportunus accidisset : miððy dæg maccalic [OE Rushw. dæge macalice] gecuom. The Old English word is cognate with or formed similarly to North Frisian mēklik , Middle Dutch gemackelīke , mackelīke (Dutch gemakkelijk , makkelijk easy), Middle Low German mākelīk , Old High German gimahlīh comfortable (German gemächlich leisurely), Old Icelandic makligr meet, proper, Icelandic maklegur deserving, condign, Norwegian makelig easy, comfortable, all ultimately < the Germanic bases of mack adj. + -ly suffix1. N.E.D. (1904) indicates the stress as ˈmackly.
