单词 vew
释义

vewn.

Brit. /vjuː/, U.S. /vju/
Forms: 1500s 1800s– vew, 1500s–1600s vewe, 1600s veiwe, 1600s vue, 1600s–1800s view.
Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: yew n.
Etymology: Variant of yew n., perhaps via an intermediate form in /wj-/ (with assimilation).With the phonology perhaps compare the (unrelated) Shropshire place names Weo Farm and Weo Edge (formerly also Yeo Edge , now usually View Edge ), the first element of which is pronounced /vjuː/, and which apparently reflects a compound of Old English weg way n.1 and hōh hoe n.1
English regional (north midlands and northern).
More fully vew tree: a yew tree. Also: the wood of the yew.
