单词 bloodstone
释义

bloodstonen.

Brit. /ˈblʌdstəʊn/, U.S. /ˈblədˌstoʊn/
Forms: see blood n. and stone n.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; partly modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: blood n., stone n.
Etymology: < blood n. + stone n., partly after classical Latin haematītes haematite n. (see discussion at that entry). Compare also post-classical Latin lapis sanguinarius, literally ‘bloody stone’ (1363 in Chauliac). Compare Dutch bloedsteen haematite (1768), Middle Low German blōtstēn, blōtstein, Middle High German bluotstein (German Blutstein, now only in sense ‘haematite’), Swedish blodsten (1538), Danish blodsten, denoting red iron ore (believed to have styptic properties), haematite, and bole armeniac.
Any of certain minerals or precious stones spotted or streaked with red, or red in colour, formerly used medicinally in the treatment of haemorrhage and as a charm against injury or bleeding; spec. (a) a form of green chalcedony with dark red markings (= heliotrope n. 2); (b) = haematite n. a (now chiefly historical).
