单词 mickledom
释义

mickledomn.

Brit. /ˈmɪkəldəm/, U.S. /ˈmɪkəldəm/, Scottish English /ˈmɪkəldəm/
Forms: see mickle adj. and -dom suffix; also 1600s mickle-dome; Scottish pre-1700 meikldom, 1800s mekildom.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: mickle adj., -dom suffix.
Etymology: < mickle adj. + -dom suffix.The unusual form michel-dome (see quot. 1681; the corresponding form of the adjective is not attested after Middle English) may perhaps be explained as an artificial anglicization from Scots: Robertson, who was a Scot by birth, had been living in England since 1653.
Chiefly Scottish. Now rare.
Size, magnitude, greatness. Now chiefly in the proverb mickledom is no virtue.
