单词 scurvy
释义

scurvyn.

Brit. /ˈskəːvi/, U.S. /ˈskərvi/
Forms: α. 1500s skurvie, 1500s–1600s scurvie, 1600s skirvye, 1600s–1700s scurvey, 1500s– scurvy; β. 1500s scurby, skyrby, scorbie, 1600s scorby.
Etymology: Substantive use of scurvy adj. (compare scurvy disease under scurvy adj. 1a); the specific sense was determined by the use of the word to render the like-sounding French scorbut , Middle Low German schorbûk , etc. (see scorbute n.), and the β forms above proceed from assimilation of the native to the foreign word. See also scruby n.
1.
a. A disease characterized by general debility of the body, extreme tenderness of the gums, foul breath, subcutaneous eruptions and pains in the limbs, induced by exposure and by a too liberal diet of salted foods; scorbutus n. Now recognized as due to insufficient ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in the diet. Formerly used more vaguely, including what is now distinguished as purpura n.
