单词 bellon
释义

bellonn.

/ˈbɛlən/
Forms: 1700s bellan, 1700s–1800s ballan, 1700s–1800s belland, 1700s–1800s bellon, 1800s bellund.
Origin: Of unknown origin
Etymology: Origin unknown.A suggested connection with bell v.4 is unlikely on formal and semantic grounds. It has also been suggested that the word is a borrowing < Welsh belen , mutated form (following the definite article) of pelen (small) ball, cannonball (diminutive of pêl ball < classical Latin pila : see pill n.3). However, the only evidence for the Welsh word in this sense is found in an English context in the passage below and may reflect a folk etymology (especially as the passage appears to describe a different condition). The same author also reports significant movement of miners from England (including Derbyshire) into Wales at the time, which makes it more likely that the Welsh word is of English origin, if it is related at all:c1740 L. Morris in W. J. Lewis Lead Mining in Wales (1967) 283 Miners in some soft, dry works..are subject to a distemper in their breasts, which they feel like a heavy ball and therefore call it in Welsh Y Belen, i.e., The Ball.
A term for lead-colic.
