单词 rown-wheel
释义

rown-wheeln.

Forms: 1600s rowne wheel, 1600s rown wheel.
Origin: Probably formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: English rown , round adj., wheel n., crown wheel n.
Etymology: Probably either < rown, variant of round adj. + wheel n. (see note; perhaps so called in contrast with the notched outline of the cogwheel), or an error for crown wheel n. (although in the 17th cent. this is otherwise only attested with reference to watch movements).Compare the following near-contemporary example, directly quoting Holme (see quot. 1688), but altering the second instance of the headword to read round-wheel:1704 Dict. Rusticum sig. Fff4 v 16. The Cog-wheel. 17. The Rowne-wheel, that turns the upper Mill-stone..20. The Spindle, which is fixed in the Mill-Rinde and the Round-wheel.
Obsolete. rare.
A wheel in the gearing of a mill, connected to the sail mechanism and driving the upper millstone. Cf. wallower n. 2.
