英语词汇“to tirl at the pin”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

a. In the phrase to tirl at (†upon) the pin, to make such a noise on some part of the gate or door, in order to gain admittance; also to tirl at the latch, at the sneck.An old phrase of ballad poetry, which in the 19th cent. was taken up and used by Scott, and others after him. Now generally identified by antiquaries with the use of the appendage called the risp and ring (risp n.² 2), formerly used for this purpose. (Cf. tinkle v.¹ 2c, Bob Norice ix, ‘When he came to Lord Barnet's castel He tinklet at the ring’.) But in this identification there are difficulties; a risp is not a ‘pin’, nor has it any resemblance to a ‘pin’, in any known sense of the word; the pin of a door was the latch or handle which was ‘lifted’ or ‘turned’ to open the door: see quots. under pin n.¹ 1b; whereas the ‘risp’ was a fixed appendage which could neither be lifted nor turned, having no connection with the latch or door-handle. Hence it would seem that ‘to tirl at the pin’ was to make a noise by moving the latch up and down rapidly. It is possible that the ‘risp and ring’ was a later device, which came to be erroneously considered as the apparatus by which the ‘tirling at the pin’ was performed.
