单词 bludgeon
释义

bludgeonn.

/ˈblʌdʒən/
Etymology: Not found before the 18th cent.: origin unknown. Blogon (with g = j) is quoted by Dr. Whitley Stokes from the Cornish drama Origo Mundi (? 14th cent.), but its relation to the English is uncertain. Other Celtic etymologies sometimes proposed are on many grounds untenable. A Dutch verb bludsen to bruise, has also been compared; and it has been suggested that the word is of cant origin, connected with blood.
A short stout stick or club, with one end loaded or thicker and heavier than the other, used as a weapon.
