单词 bogle
释义

boglen.

/ˈbəʊɡ(ə)l/
Forms: Middle English–1500s bogil(l, 1600s bogell, bugle, 1700s– bogle; 1600s–1800s English regional (northern) boggle.
Etymology: Of the various names bogle , boggard , bogy , applied to a goblin, bogle is the earliest known, being common in Scottish literature since 1500. In the 19th cent. its use by Burns, Scott, Hogg, and others introduced it into English literature; but the special English form seems to be boggle (with short o as in boggard n.2), found in northern English dialects from Cumberland to Lincolnshire. The derivation of the whole group is uncertain: the primitive may be bogge , bog n.2, and this may be a variant of bugge , bug n.1; which is not improbably < Welsh bwg = /buɡ/ ghost, bugbear, hobgoblin. The form of bogle , boggle , would still remain unexplained: it is perhaps worth while to compare Welsh bwgwl = /ˈbuɡul/ ‘terror, terrifying’ (whence bygylu /bʌˈɡʌly/ to terrify), and bygel (or bugail ) nos a hobgoblin of the night: see bug n.1 But there are also German words of similar form and meaning, bögge and boggel-mann ‘a bogy, a bogle’: so that uncertainty attaches to the source. Compare boggard n.2
1. A phantom causing fright; a goblin, bogy, or spectre of the night; an undefined creature of superstitious dread. (Usually supposed to be black, and to have something of human attributes, though spoken of as it.) Also, applied contemptuously to a human being who is ‘a fright to behold’.
