释义

marmorn.adj.

Forms: pre-1700 marmor, pre-1700 marmore, pre-1700 marmour.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin marmor.
Etymology: < classical Latin marmor marble n.The word occurs in Old English as the first element of the compound marmorstān marble (once in the dissimilated form marmelstān : see discussion s.v. marble n.):OE tr. Wonders of East (Tiber.) §27. 200 Þa wif syndon ðreotyne fota lange & heora lic bið on marmorstanes [L. marmore] hwitnysse.OE Homily: De Sancto Iohanne (Corpus Cambr. 198) in Englische Studien (1885) 8 478 His [sc. the Phoenix's] forebreost [is] fægre gehiwod swylce marmorstan [lOE Vesp. marmelstan] mærost cynnes. The Scots borrowing appears to be an independent development directly < Latin (quot. 15961, with marmore stane translating post-classical Latin marmoreus lapis, almost certainly shows no continuity of use with the Old English). The Latin word occurs in an English context in:a1398 J. Trevisa tr. Bartholomaeus Anglicus De Proprietatibus Rerum (BL Add.) f. 202v Marbell hatte marmor and haþ þat name of grekes.a1500 in J.
