释义

burnt offeringn.

Forms: Also burnt-offering.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: burnt adj., offering n.
Etymology: < burnt adj. + offering n., after post-classical Latin holocaustum (Vulgate: see holocaust n.).Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: burnt ˈoffering.
A sacrifice offered to a deity by burning. (As the word is chiefly familiar in Scriptural use, it naturally suggests in the first place the animal sacrifices of the Jews.)
