单词 rasher
释义

rashern.1

Brit. /ˈraʃə/, U.S. /ˈræʃər/
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: rash v.3, -er suffix1.
Etymology: Origin uncertain; probably < rash v.3 (compare sense 1 at that entry) + -er suffix1, the original sense perhaps being ‘slice’ or ‘cut’, or perhaps referring to the practice of scoring a slice of meat before grilling or frying it (compare earlier carbonado n.1).In later use the word was sometimes associated with rash adj., which however seems unlikely as a base; compare e.g.: 1625 J. Minsheu Ductor in Linguas (ed. 2) A Rasher on the coales, q. rashly or hastily roasted. Various other etymologies have also been suggested, but all present formal or chronological problems. A recurrent suggestion is that the word may be a borrowing < Middle French rasure shaving (see rasure n.1), but this is implausible on phonological grounds.
1.
a. A thin slice or strip of bacon, or (less commonly) of other meat, intended to be cooked by grilling, broiling, or frying; a slice of meat cooked in this way.

rashern.2

Brit. /ˈraʃə/, U.S. /ˈræʃər/
Origin: Of unknown origin.
Etymology: Origin unknown. N.E.D. (1903) suggests an (otherwise unattested) Portuguese form rasciera, denoting a kind of fish (not identified), as etymon. This appears to be an inference from quot. 1882 and the following quot.:1888 G. B. Goode Amer. Fishes 267 Sebastichthys miniatus is known to the Portuguese fishermen at Monterey as the ‘Rasher’, a name of uncertain origin and othography [sic]. However, the identification of rasciera as Portuguese is by no means certain; although quot. 1882 gives a form rasciera as one of the names of the fish, it does not indicate its language. Goode (1888) attributes the origin of the names of many other species of rockfish to a community of immigrant Portuguese fishermen at Monterey. Although the existence of such a colony is attested from the late 1850s onwards (apparently first in whaling), and its members may well have used Portuguese on a regular basis at the time of Goode's book, he does not actually cite a Portuguese name for the vermilion rockfish, and frequently gives allegedly Portuguese fish names in a form using orthographic conventions of other Romance languages, e.g. Spanish or Italian. Neither rasciera nor a similar form appears to be recorded in dictionaries of Portuguese, or has been traced in other sources. Alternatively, it has been suggested that the English word may be a borrowing (with unexplained alteration of the ending) < Spanish rascacio rascasse n. (although this is apparently first attested later), but this seems unlikely because rascasses mostly occur in the Atlantic Ocean, rockfishes in the Pacific Ocean, and there is little similarity between the two fishes.
U.S.
The vermilion rockfish, Sebastes miniatus (family Scorpaenidae), a large red and grey game fish found off the Pacific coast of North America.
