释义

bardn.1

Brit. /bɑːd/, U.S. /bɑrd/
Forms: Middle English– bard, 1500s–1600s barde; also 1500s–1600s (Scottish) baird, 1500s barth, 1500s–1600s bardh.
Etymology: < Gaelic and Irish bàrd < Old Celtic *bardo-s poet-singer, minstrel (whence Greek βάρδος , Latin bardus , as alien words, ‘bardus Gallice cantor appellatur, qui virorum fortium laudes canit,’ Festus). In English originally only an alien word from the modern Celtic vernaculars, i.e. in Scotland bard , baird from Gaelic, in England barth , bardh from Welsh bardd , and bard from Irish, employed as in contemporary Celtic usage; first naturalized in Scotland, and then by no means appreciative in its use (see sense 2); afterwards, under the influence of the βάρδος, bardus of the classical writers, adopted in English literature as a historical and poetic term.
1. An ancient Celtic order of minstrel-poets, whose primary function appears to have been to compose and sing (usually to the harp) verses celebrating the achievements of chiefs and warriors, and who committed to verse historical and traditional facts, religious precepts, laws, genealogies, etc. Still the word for ‘poet’ in modern Celtic languages; and in Welsh spec. A poet or versifier who has been recognized at the Eisteddfod.

bardn.2

Forms: Also Middle English–1600s barde.
Etymology: < French barde horse-armour, also ‘a long saddle for an ass or mule of canvas’ (Cotgrave); compare Italian barda horse-armour, also pack-saddle, and French bardelle pack-saddle. These, and the existence of a dialect French aubarde , seem to identify the word with Spanish albarda , Portuguese albarda pack-saddle, referred by Devic to Arabic al-bardaʿah , i.e. al the + bardaʿah ‘stuffed pack-saddle for ass or mule’ (Bocthor), ‘covering placed over the back of a beast to alleviate the pressure of a pack-saddle’ (Freytag). Whether the French sense ‘defensive armour for a horse’ arose out of this is doubtful. Diez has compared Old Norse bard the beak of a ship, barði a beaked ship, a ‘ram,’ also (poetic) a shield. See also barb n.2
Obsolete exc. Historical.
1. (Usually plural) A protective covering for the breast and flanks of a war-horse, made of metal plates, or of leather set with metal spikes or bosses, but sometimes (e.g. in tournaments) merely ornamental, and made of velvet or other rich stuff.
