单词 bawdstrot
释义

bawdstrotn.

Forms: Middle English baudstrot, Middle English bawdstrot(t, baustrott, balde- baldystrot, bawstrop.
Etymology: Identical with Old French baudetrot : Godefroy, s.v., quotes ‘pronuba, baudetrot ,’ from a Latin-French glossary of 13th cent. This, with the English forms, indicates an earlier Old French baldestrot , baudestrot , the first element of which appears to be bald , baud ‘bold, forward, lively, gay’ (see baude adj.); the second suggests the Germanic strutt , strut n.1 (Cant names have been frequent for the class of persons in question.) This is probably the full word from which bawd was shortened; the form bawstrop seems to be the origin of the word bronstrops n. a procuress, which is frequent in Middleton's comedies.
Obsolete.
A bawd n.1, male or female; a pander, a procuress.
