单词 rhythm royal
释义

rhythm royaln.

Brit. /ˌrɪð(ə)m ˈrɔɪəl/, U.S. /ˌrɪðəm ˈrɔɪəl/
Forms: see rhythm n. and royal adj. and n.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: rhythm n., royal adj.
Etymology: < rhythm n. + royal adj., apparently after ballade royal at ballade n. 2. Compare later rhyme royal n., and also earlier metre n.1 1b. The use of royal adj. in all of these compounds may ultimately echo Old French chançon royal (1316), Middle French chant royal (a1377), denoting a type of ballade stanza with five couplets and an envoi.Although quot. 1575 is the only surviving example of early use, the name probably did not originate with Gascoigne, since he comments that the form ‘hath bene called Rithme royall’ (compare discussion in PMLA 94 (1979) 63/1).
Now rare.
