单词 shot-window
释义

shot-windown.

Etymology: Probably < shot n.1 The precise sense of the first element is difficult to determine. Some have thought that the word originally meant a window for shooting from; but there is no trace of this in the examples. Compare Middle Dutch schotdore sliding door, schotpoorte portcullis.
Now only Scottish.
A window that can be opened and shut by turning on its hinges, like a door or shutter, a casement; a shutter with a few panes of glass at the top. (Cf. quot. 1722 at shot n.1 27) In quot. 1836 apparently used for outshot window.
