单词 acreme
释义

acremen.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymon: acre n.
Etymology: Apparently a derivative or compound of acre n.; however, since the ending of the word is not easily explained, and there is no evidence for the word outside dictionaries, it seems likeliest that the form and probably also the meaning result from a misapprehension, perhaps as a result of misreading a Latin or French document.
Obsolete.
A unit of land area equal to ten acres.There is no evidence for the existence of the word outside dictionaries.
