单词 bullace
释义

bullacen.

/ˈbʊlɪs/
Forms: Middle English bolace, Middle English bolys, bolysse, Middle English–1500s bolas, bulas, 1500s bulles, bullase, bullasse, 1600s bullas, 1500s–1600s bulloes, bullies, bulleis, 1600s bully, 1800s (dialect bulloe, bulloy), 1500s– bullace. plural Middle English bolaces, bolas, 1500s bullises, bulleys, bullaze, boollesse, 1500s–1600s bullies, bullase, 1600s bullis, bulleis, bullaise, bullice, bullices, bullises, bullasis, 1600s– bullace, bullaces, (Scottish bullees, Devon bullens.)
Etymology: apparently connected with Old French beloce of same meaning (13th cent., Littré); but its precise relation to the Old French word, and the etymology of the latter, are not ascertained. The Irish bulistair, Gaelic bulaistear, sometimes accepted as the etymon, appear to be adopted < Middle English bolaster = bullace-tree. Legonidec gives a Breton polos, bolos ‘prune sauvage’, and Florio 1611 has an Italian bulloi ‘bulloes, slowne, or skegs’, which may possibly be ultimately connected.
1.
a. A wild plum ( Prunus insititia) larger than the sloe; there are two varieties, the black (or dark-blue) and the white; also well-known as a semi-cultivated fruit.
