单词 sheila
释义

sheilan.

Brit. /ˈʃiːlə/, U.S. /ˈʃilə/, Australian English /ˈʃiːlə/, New Zealand English /ˈʃiːlə/
Forms: Also 1800s shaler; sheelah, etc.
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Early shaler is not formally explained. It may represent a generic use of the (originally Irish) personal name Sheila , the counterpart of paddy n.2 1a (see quot. 1828); in any case, it became assimilated to this at some later stage.
Now Australian and New Zealand colloquial.
A girl or young woman; a girl-friend. (Playfully affectionate and predominantly in male use.)
