单词 tevel
释义

teveltavelv.

Forms: Middle English tauel, teuel, 1800s Scottish tevel, tevvel.
Etymology: Origin and primary meaning obscure; it is even uncertain whether there are not here two different words. Senses 2, 3 suggest a possible connection with tave v. If sense 1 was originally ‘to contend (in words)’, we might compare Norwegian tevla , Swedish táfla , ‘to contend, cope, vie, rival, strive, struggle’; but these go back to Old Norse tefla to play at tables or draughts, = Old English tæflian , Middle English tavel n.1, which appears to have no connection with this.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈtevel.
Obsolete exc. dialect.
1. intransitive ? To talk, converse; or perhaps rather, To discuss, argue, contend in words. Obsolete.
