单词 achor
释义

achorn.

Forms: Old English–early Middle English achoras (plural), 1500s–1800s achor, 1700s–1800s achores (plural).
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin achor.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin achor (c400, frequently in plural) < ancient Greek ἄχωρ scurf, (frequently in plural) dandruff, perhaps related to ἄχυρα chaff, ἄχνη chaff. Compare Middle French, French achores, plural (second half of the 14th cent. as acores).The word was evidently reborrowed in the late 16th cent., and there is no continuity of use with the Old English and early Middle English. N.E.D. (1884) gives the pronunciation as (ēi·koɹ) /ˈeɪkɔː(r)/.
Medicine. Obsolete.
A disease of the scalp, probably favus or some other form of dermatophytosis, characterized by the presence of small pustules, ulcers, and scabs; (also) a pustule or ulcer of this disease.In Old English in plural with singular agreement.
