释义

roden.1

Brit. /rəʊd/, U.S. /roʊd/, Canadian English /roːd/
Forms: 1600s rood, 1600s roode, 1600s–1700s roade, 1700s– road, 1700s– rode, 1800s– rhode.
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: road n.
Etymology: Origin uncertain; probably < road n. (compare forms at that entry, and compare road n. 3a and at road at road n. Phrases 1). Compare later roding n.3It has been suggested (B. Sandahl in Mariner's Mirror (1966) 52 87–9) that the word is short for a Middle English compound rode-rope ( < road n. + rope n.1). The compounds rodrope and roderope are indeed attested twice each, in late 13th-cent. and 14th-cent. English documents, with the following earliest and latest examples:1295 in Antiquaries Jrnl. (1927) 7 435 In tribus cordis que dicuntur ‘Rodropes’ pro dictis bargeis.1378–81 in Mariner's Mirror (1966) 52 88 Et eidem Johanni pro ij. peciis corde pro Shetes et j. roderope in eadem bargea ponder' lxvij. lb. precium libre j. d. ob.—viij. s. iiij. d. b. However, it is not clear whether rodrope and roderope show variants of a single compound, or two distinct compounds, nor is their meaning or etymology clear. \\( Middle Eng. Dict. at rod(de n. records only the two instances of rodrope , interpreting them as showing rod n.1 as first element, but does not record roderope.)
North American regional (chiefly New England and Newfoundland). Nautical.
A rope, esp. one attached to the anchor of a boat. Cf. roding n.3
