释义

peakedadj.1

Brit. /piːkt/, U.S. /pikt/
Forms: Middle English peked, Middle English pekede, Middle English pekyd, 1500s–1700s 1900s– peeked, 1600s–1700s peakt, 1600s–1700s piqued, 1600s– peaked; Scottish 1700s– peaked, 1900s– peakit.
Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: peak n.2, -ed suffix2.
Etymology: Apparently < peak n.2 (although this is first attested later) + -ed suffix2. Compare earlier piked adj.1 N.E.D. (1904) also gives the pronunciation (pī·kėd) /ˈpiːkɪd/, perhaps representing poetic or Scottish usage (compare the Scottish form peakit).
a. Having or reaching a peak; projecting, pointed; cut, trimmed, or brought to a peak or point. [In quot. c1350 apparently arising from a misreading of Middle French cornaile (cornel-cherry) as cornier (angled, pointed).]
