单词 quartelet
释义

quarteletn.

Forms: late Middle English quartelet, late Middle English quartelette, late Middle English quartelott, late Middle English quartillet, late Middle English quartlet, late Middle English quartlett, late Middle English quarttelett, 1500s quartelett.
Origin: Apparently a borrowing from French. Etymon: French quartelet.
Etymology: Apparently < Middle French quartelet small measure (probably for liquids: 1408) < quarte quart n.2 + -let -let suffix. Compare post-classical Latin quartelettus measure of wine (1413 in a British source), Middle French (Picardy) cartelette pint of liquid (16th cent.), and also Occitan (Vence) cartalet measure of wine (1533 or earlier), which however denotes a large measure of wine (about 60 litres).Earlier currency is apparently shown by the following, unless it is taken as showing an (apparently otherwise unattested) Anglo-Norman parallel:1432 in J. Raine Testamenta Eboracensia (1855) II. 27 Lego..vj s. viij d. cum uno pare de quartillets. With the form quartelott compare Middle French (Picardy) cartelotte pint of liquid (1560).
Obsolete.
A vessel having a capacity of less than a quart. Cf. quart n.2 1.
