单词 shrovetide
释义

Shrovetiden.

Forms: Also Middle English schrof-, -ffe-, shorff-, Middle English–1500s shrof(f)-, 1500s northern s(c)hraf-, 1500s–1600s shros- (?); 1500s shrosty (?), shrovety.
Etymology: Of obscure origin.The first element is undoubtedly related to shrive v. and refers to the custom of being shriven in preparation for Lent. An Old English *scráf shriving, confession, < scrífan to shrive v., would account phonologically for shrove- , but, if the form actually existed, the absence of evidence for this group of words until the 15th cent. is remarkable. (Other early names for the season were Fastern's Een n., Fastgong n., Fastingong n.)Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈShrove-tide.
a. The period comprising Quinquagesima Sunday and the two following days, ‘Shrove’ Monday and Tuesday.
