单词 wellink
释义

wellinkn.

Brit. /ˈwɛlɪŋk/, U.S. /ˈwɛlɪŋk/
Forms: 1800s– wallink, 1800s– wellink.
Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: well n.1, lemke n.
Etymology: Probably the reflex of an apparently unattested compound < well n.1 + lemke n. (compare forms at that entry, and see also discussion at brooklime n.), with elision of medial -e- and assimilation of consonants in the second element.
Now rare.
Either of two water speedwells (genus Veronica): (a) British regional and Irish English (usually in form wellink) brooklime, V. beccabunga; (b) North American (usually in form wallink) American brooklime, V. americana.
