单词 attercop
释义

attercopn.

Forms: Old English attorcoppa, Old English–Middle English attercoppe, Middle English atturcoppe, addurcop, Middle English attyrcope, attyrcoppe, nedyrcopp, 1500s attircop, addircop, 1600s attercob, 1800s attercap, Middle English–1800s attercop.
Etymology: Old English attorcoppa , < átor, attor, poison + coppa, derivative of cop top, summit, round head, or copp cup, vessel; in reference to the supposed venomous properties of spiders. Compare also Dutch spinne-cop ‘spider,’ and cobweb n., formerly cop-webbe; whence it appears probable that the simple coppa was itself = ‘spider.’
Obsolete or dialect.
