单词 pole-clipped
释义

pole-clippedadj.

Forms: 1600s pole-clipt.
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by derivation. Or perhaps formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: pole n.1, clip v.1, -ed suffix1; English pole , poll n.1, clipped adj.
Etymology: Either < pole n.1 + clip v.1 + -ed suffix1, in the sense ‘enclosed by poles’, or perhaps < pole, variant of poll n.1 + clipped adj., in the sense ‘pollarded’; compare poll v. 2, polled adj.1 4, etc.Most editors of Shakespeare (including Wells and Taylor) have followed the Folio spelling pole-clipt and so implicitly favoured the former derivation; Hanmer (1744) and Warburton (1747) make this explicit with an emendation to pale-clipt. If this reading stands, there may also be some allusion to the design or arrangement of the stage: see Shakespeare Q. 33 (1982) 14. However, some modern editions have favoured the latter derivation: F. Kermode (Methuen ed., ed. 5, 1954) emends to poll-clipt, ‘with reference to the practice of pruning grapevines in spring’; he is followed by S. Orgel (Oxford Shakespeare ed., 1987). For further argument in favour of this reading see H. Kökeritz in Mod. Lang. Rev. 39 (1944) 178–9, and in W. Iser and H. Schabram Britannica: Festschrift für H. M. Flasdieck (1960) 162–5. Either interpretation fits within the thematic context, of the restraint of nature.
Obsolete. rare.
Perhaps: enclosed or hedged by poles, intertwined on poles. Also explained as: having the top growth pruned or cut back, pollarded.
