单词 water house
释义

water housen.

Brit. /ˈwɔːtə ˌhaʊs/, U.S. /ˈwɔdər ˌhaʊs/, /ˈwɑdər ˌhaʊs/
Forms: see water n. and house n.1 and int.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: water n., house n.1
Etymology: < water n. + house n.1 With sense 1 compare Middle Dutch waterhuus building from which water is conveyed via pipes for domestic use (Dutch (now regional: West Flanders) waterhuis).It is unlikely that earlier currency of this word is implied by the surnames Adam del Waterhous (1308), Henr. del Waterhouses (1327), since these probably refer to a house or houses situated beside or near a stretch of water.
1. Originally: a building or room containing a source of water such as a spring or well. Later also: a building in which water is raised from a river or underground source, usually into a reservoir, then conveyed via pipes or conduits for domestic use. Now historical.
