单词 quinsell
释义

quinselln.

Forms: 1500s quinzell, 1600s quinsel, 1600s quinsell, 1600s quyncell.
Origin: Probably either (i) a borrowing from French. Or (ii) a borrowing from Italian. Etymons: French guinsal; Italian guinzaglio.
Etymology: Probably < Middle French guinsal rope, cord (1587, rare; apparently only recorded in F. Godefroy Dict. de l'ancienne langue française (1880 1902 )) or its probable etymon Italian guinzaglio leash (13th cent.), ultimately < Middle High German wintseil tentrope ( < wint (see wind n.1) + seil (see sole n.3)). Compare Old Occitan guinsalh rope, leash (probably 12th cent., although this represents an editorial emendation).
