单词 rumbelow
释义

rumbelowint.n.adj.

Brit. /ˈrʌmbᵻləʊ/, U.S. /ˈrəmbəˌloʊ/
Forms: late Middle English revylow (perhaps transmission error), late Middle English rombylo, late Middle English rombylogh, late Middle English rombylowe, late Middle English romelowe, late Middle English romylawe, late Middle English rumbeloo, late Middle English rumbylogh, late Middle English–1500s rombelow, late Middle English–1500s rombelowe, late Middle English–1500s rummeloo, 1500s rombelo, 1500s rumbelo, 1500s rumbelowe, 1500s rumbolo, 1500s rumbylow, 1500s rumbylowe, 1500s–1600s rumbilo, 1500s– rumbelow, 1600s roombelow, 1600s rumbillo, 1600s rumbillow; Scottish pre-1700 rohumbelow, pre-1700 rombelow, pre-1700 rumbelo, pre-1700 rumbelow, pre-1700 rumbillow.
Origin: An imitative or expressive formation. Etymons: rumble v.2, lo int.1
Etymology: Ultimately of imitative origin; perhaps < rumble v.2 + lo int.1, with loss of the medial -l- in the first element by dissimilation. Compare heave ho int. and n., hey-ho int., with which the word is often paired in early use. With sense B. 1 compare later rumble n.1 3a. In senses B. 3, B. 4, and in the use as adjective (see sense C.) associated with rumble v.2In form revylow either a transmission error, or influenced by heave ho int. and n. (compare forms with medial -l- at that entry), with which the word rhymes in the instance in question.
A. int.
Used in songs as (part of) a refrain, esp. by sailors when rowing. Cf. heave ho int. and n., hey-ho int. Now archaic and rare.
ΘΚΠ
society > leisure > the arts > literature > poetry > part of poem > [noun] > refrain > meaningless
