释义

tory-roryadj.adv.int.n.

Brit. /ˌtɔːrɪˈrɔːri/, U.S. /ˌtɔriˈrɔri/
Forms: 1600s tory-lory, 1600s tory-roary, 1600s– tory-rory.
Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: Tory n.
Etymology: Probably a reduplication (with consonant variation) of Tory n., perhaps after roary adj. (although this is first attested later; compare quot. 1682 at roary adj. 1). Compare later rory-tory adj.Early uses may reflect the name of a Cavalier song, although this song name is apparently first attested later (1689 or earlier, but already implied by senses B. and C.); compare the following slightly earlier use as a personal name, which probably punningly alludes to this song, or perhaps already to the adjective use (see sense A., although this would imply earlier currency of the adjective):1661 ‘P. Aretine’ Strange Newes from Bartholomew-Fair 2 I..dare not be too publick, lest like our dear sister Tory Rory, I be forc'd to beat out my living at the Hemp-block.
rare after 18th cent. Now historical.
A. adj.
1. Originally: that is a supporter of Charles II and royal policies after the Restoration; Cavalier, Royalist. From the period of the Exclusion Crisis (1679–81) onwards: that is a Tory; belonging to or supporting the Tory Party. Cf. Tory n. 2, 3a. Usually depreciative.Use in the period of the Exclusion Crisis and Glorious Revolution (1688) typically overlaps with sense A. 2, with that sense always strongly implied and this implication indicating forcefully depreciative intent. Later use retains a depreciative aspect, but the link to sense A. 2 becomes secondary.In quot. 1663 with allusion to the municipal office of Sergeant at Mace (see sergeant n. 7b), with the implication that anyone filling this role after the Corporation Act of 1661 (see Corporation Act n.) would be a Royalist.Quot. 1975 is an apparently isolated use in historical context, referring to those who supported the British cause during the period of the American Revolution and War of Independence (cf. Tory n. 4a).
