单词 bottle-head
释义

bottle-headn.

Brit. /ˈbɒtlhɛd/, U.S. /ˈbɑdəlˌhɛd/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: bottle n.3, head n.1
Etymology: < bottle n.3 + head n.1In sense 2 and in bottle-headed adj. perhaps with allusion to bottle n.3 3, or perhaps with metaphorical reference to the head as (empty) container; however, these uses may originate as alterations of beetle-head n. at beetle n.1 Compounds 1c(a) and beetle-headed adj. at beetle n.1 Compounds 1c(b) respectively; compare quot. 1547 at bottlenose n. With sense 3 compare slightly earlier bottlenose n. 3. In sense 4 by association of bottle n.2 with bottle n.3, in allusion to the globular base of the flower.
1. A person's head, likened to a bottle and its contents (see quot.). Obsolete. rare.
