单词 bay-salt
释义

bay-saltn.

/ˈbeɪˌsɒlt/
Forms: Middle English–1500s baye-, 1600s bai-, base-, 1500s– bay-salt.
Etymology: probably < bay n.2Many explanations have been offered. A derivation < Bayonne dates from 1633; but if salt was really imported into England from that place, it would seem more probable that bay-salt meant ‘salt from the Bay (of Biscay)’; compare ‘Cape wines,’ etc. The conjecture that it means salt procured from bays (of the sea) indefinitely, seems less probable, for it would have been more obvious, in this case, to say ‘sea-salt.’ There seems to be no good authority for the statement that the Cheshire brine-pools are called bays, nor would this explain why one kind of salt should bear the name of bay-salt more than another.
Salt, obtained in large crystals by slow evaporation; originally, from sea-water by the sun's heat.
