单词 sirloin
释义

sirloinn.

Brit. /ˈsəːlɔɪn/, U.S. /ˈsərˌlɔɪn/
Forms: α. Middle English–1700s surloyn, 1500s–1600s surloyne, 1600s surloi(g)ne, surline, 1700s– surloin (1700s sur-loin). β. 1500s serlyn, 1600s sir-loyne, 1700s sir-loyn, sirloyn; 1600s srloin, 1700s sir loin, 1700s–1800s sir-loin, 1700s– sirloin.
Etymology: < Old French *surloigne, variant of surlonge , < sur over, above + longe loin n. The spelling sirloin shows the same tendency as sirname for surname, sirples (obsolete) for surplice; its final prevalence may have been largely due to the fictitious etymology variously stated in the following quotations.1655 T. Fuller Church-hist. Brit. vi. 299 A Sir-loyne of beef was set before Him (so Knighted, saith tradition, by this King Henry [VIII]).1738 J. Swift Compl. Coll. Genteel Conversat. 121 Miss. But, pray, why is it call'd a Sir-loyn? Ld. Sparkish. Why,..our King James the First,..being invited to Dinner by one of his Nobles, and seeing a large Loyn of Beef at his Table, he drew out his Sword, and..knighted it.1822 Cook's Oracle 163 Sir-Loin of Beef. This joint is said to owe its name to King Charles the Second, who dining upon a Loin of Beef,..said for its merit it should be knighted, and henceforth called Sir-Loin.
