单词 thill
释义

thilln.1

Brit. /θɪl/, U.S. /θɪl/
Forms: Also Middle English þylle, thyl, 1500s thyll. Cf. also fill n.2
Etymology: Of uncertain origin: the 14th cent. þille, þylle is identical in form with Old English þille, glossed tabulāta, tabulāmen, tabulāmentum, i.e. ‘board, deal, boarding, flooring’, but the sense ‘pole or shaft’ is so different that, without further evidence, it seems unsafe to connect them. For the Old English þille see theal n.: none of the cognate words there cited show any approach to the modern sense of thill.
The pole or shaft by which a wagon, cart, or other vehicle is attached to the animal drawing it, esp. one of the pair of shafts between which a single draught animal is placed. Applied (a) in singular to the single pole, rarely to the pair of shafts (now only U.S.); (b) in plural to the pair of shafts.
ΘΚΠ
