单词 polder
释义

poldern.1

Brit. /ˈpəʊldə/, /ˈpɒldə/, U.S. /ˈpoʊldər/
Forms: 1600s polther, 1600s– polder.
Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Dutch. Etymon: Dutch polder.
Etymology: Apparently < Dutch polder (1456 or earlier in Middle Dutch; earlier, and more frequently, as polre (1219)), of uncertain origin; perhaps related to Middle Dutch pol pool n.1 (which is also attested in the sense ‘land washed up by the sea’ (1343)), although if so the suffix is unexplained. Compare West Frisian polder, German regional (Low German: East Friesland) polder, poller in the same sense; it is unclear whether these are cognates of the Dutch word or borrowed from it; German Polder (beginning of the 18th cent.) is either < Dutch or < German regional (Low German: East Friesland). The Dutch word was also borrowed into French at an early date; compare Old French polre (1267 in an apparently isolated attestation; French polder (1805 as †poldre) is a later reborrowing). Compare post-classical Latin poldrum land reclaimed from marsh (1418 in a British source).An unattested cognate Old English *polra ‘marshy land’ is perhaps implied by place-name evidence, e.g. Poldreham (1086, apparently showing epenthetic d; now Powderham, Devon), Polres (1240; now Pollard, East Riding, Yorkshire), Polre (1292; now Poldhurst Farm, Kent).
1. Originally and chiefly in the Low Countries: a piece of low-lying land reclaimed from the sea, a river, etc., and protected by dykes.
