释义

Bedouinn.adj.

Brit. /ˈbɛdʊᵻn/, /ˈbɛdʊiːn/, U.S. /ˈbɛd(ə)wən/, /ˈbɛdəˌwin/
Forms: Middle English plural bedoynes, 1600s plural baduini, singular bedwin, 1700s bedonian, bedouia, bedoween, 1700s– bedouin (1800s beduin). Also β. 1800s singular bedawy, bedawee, plural bedawin, bedaween.
Etymology: < French bedouin, 12th cent. Old French li bedowin (plural), 13th cent. beduins, beduyn (singular), < Arabic badāwīn, or badawīn, plural of badāwīy or badawīy a dweller in the desert, < badw desert. First known to Europeans in Crusading times. The plural, being of most frequent use, was adapted in medieval Latin as beduīni, bedewīni, Italian beduini, baduini, whence a singular Latin beduīnus, Italian beduino, French beduin, etc., with the Arabic plural ending -īn retained: compare assassin, also cherubin, seraphin, rabbin. In English apparently forgotten after Crusading times till the 17th cent. The modern spelling is French: travellers acquainted with Arabic often substitute the forms in β.
