单词 brinded
释义

brindedadj.

/ˈbrɪndɪd/
Forms: Middle English brende, Middle English–1700s brended, 1600s breended, 1500s– brinded.
Etymology: Primary form apparently brended , whence on one side branded adj.1, on the other brinded . Brende , which occurs in Lydgate, is identical with one of the contemporary forms of burnt , burned (see burn v.1); nevertheless, taken with the fuller brended, it points to a secondary verb brend-en, a possible derivative of brand ‘burning, brand’. The sense appears to be ‘marked as by burning’ or ‘branding’. Prof. Skeat compares Icelandic bröndóttr brindled, < brand fire-brand.
archaic.
Of a tawny or brownish colour, marked with bars or streaks of a different hue; also gen. streaked, spotted; brindled.
