单词 perquellies
释义

perquelliesn.

Forms: 1500s perquelles, 1500s perquellies.
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: per- prefix, cullis n.2
Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps < per- prefix + an unrecorded early variant of cullis n.2 (compare forms s.v. and killesse n.).It is unclear what Coverdale intended, given that translators generally agree in using a word signifying some kind of channel for water. The Septuagint here reads ἁπτέσθω ἐν παραξιϕίδι; the Vulgate reads tetigisset domatum fistulas, translated in the Wycliffite Early Version (a1425) ‘touchide the goters of the hows eues’ and in the Later Version ‘hadde touchid the goteris of roouys’. The 16th-cent. versions have ‘getteth vp to the gutters’ (King James Bible ‘gutter’).
Obsolete.
Meaning uncertain: apparently intended to refer to a means of access to a fortified place.
