单词 saker
释义

sakern.1

Brit. /ˈseɪkə/, U.S. /ˈseɪkər/
Forms: Middle English sagre, 1500s sagar, Middle English–1800s sacre, 1500s– saker.
Etymology: < French sacre, < Spanish sacro, Portuguese sacro, Italian sagro, probably < Arabic çaqr. In form the Spanish, Portuguese and Italian word coincides with the adjective representing Latin sacer sacred adj. and n.; it has in consequence been supposed to mean ‘sacred falcon’ (compare modern scientific Latin Falco sacer), and Diez ingeniously conjectured that the designation was suggested by a confusion between Greek ἱέραξ falcon and ἱερός sacred.
A large lanner falcon ( Falco sacer) used in falconry, esp. the female, which is larger than the male, the latter being distinguished as sakeret.‘A related falcon of western North America, Falco polyagrus or Falco mexicanus, is known as the American saker’ (Cent. Dict. 1891).
