单词 planxty
释义

planxtyn.

Brit. /ˈplaŋksti/, U.S. /ˈplæŋ(k)sti/, Irish English /ˈplæŋsti/
Forms: 1700s plangstee, 1700s plangsty, 1700s planksty, 1700s plansty, 1700s– planxty.
Origin: Of unknown origin.
Etymology: Origin unknown.Probably not < Irish (compare quot. 1855). Irish plancstaí is probably < English; quot. 1724 antedates evidence in Irish (compare also quot. a1738 in the note below). Irish pléaráca , originally ‘revelry, reckless merriment’, is often used as an equivalent term. Perhaps imitative of the plucking of a harp. Some suggest its formation in some way from Irish plancadh striking (e.g. a harp) or its etymon classical Latin plangere to strike, beat (see plangent adj.). Compare -ty suffix1. The word has also been suggested to be an alteration of Irish sláinte health, toast, also used in the titles of praise poems (see slainte int.). The development of this style of music is attributed to Turlough O'Carolan (Toirdhealbhach Ó Cearhbhalláin 1670–1738), harper and composer, who may also have coined the term, although he did not use it as much as later editors and commentators of his work. For an example in context from his work, compare the following, although it is unclear whether the word is meant to be Irish or English:a1738 T. O'Carolan Seórsa Brabston (George Brabazon) in T. Ó Máille Amhráin Chearbhalláin (1916) 177 Hí hó! súd é an siollaire, Hom-bó! dubhshlán duine faoi, him-jam plancstaí, merriment, Sing, dance, drink his health about.
Irish English.
A lively tune in triplets for harp, fiddle, flute, etc., which is slower than the jig; a dance to this.
