单词 botar
释义

botarn.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by clipping or shortening. Etymon: bottarga n.
Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps shortened < bottarga n. (compare forms at that entry).In quot. 1673, Ray claims to be quoting from notes by Francis Willughby on fishing practice in Provence; the passage corresponds relatively closely to the following:1686 F. Willughby & J. Ray De Hist. Piscium iv. iv. 275 Mugiles Mares Allactants; i. e. lactentes vocantur ob lac sive sperma, fæminæ Botar, unde Botargo.Although the wording of this passage would appear to suggest that it is recording terms in the local language of the area, no noun corresponding to botar has been identified in either Occitan or French. Not fully naturalized in English.
Obsolete. rare.
In Provence: a female mullet.
