单词 buss
释义

bussn.1

Brit. /bʌs/, U.S. /bəs/
Forms: Middle English busshe, Middle English–1600s busse, 1600s brisse, 1600s buce, 1600s burse, 1600s buscie, 1600s bushe, 1600s– buss, 1700s buche, 1700s bush; also Scottish pre-1700 busche, pre-1700 bush, pre-1700 bushe.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly either a borrowing from Dutch. Or a borrowing from Middle Low German. Etymons: French busse; Dutch buysse; Middle Low German bǖse.
Etymology: In sense 1 < (i) Anglo-Norman busce, bouce, buce, busse (c1170 or earlier; compare Old French buce , busse ), perhaps < post-classical Latin bucia , buscia , bucea , busca , buza , buscium (military) transport vessel (first half of the 12th cent.; frequently from late 12th cent. in British sources), of uncertain origin (see note). In sense 2 < (ii) Middle Dutch buysse (Dutch buis) or its equivalent (iii) Middle Low German bǖse, bǖsse, buyse fishing vessel, itself < either Old French or post-classical Latin (see above); compare ( < Middle Low German or early modern Dutch) German Büse fishing vessel (a1525). Compare also Middle Low German butze, butza, busse kind of Norwegian cargo ship, Old High German (rare) būzō pirate ship (12th cent.; Middle High German buze kind of warship), Old Icelandic buza, búza kind of warship, also cargo ship, Old Norwegian búza cargo ship, and also (denoting a fishing vessel) post-classical Latin buza (1163 in a source from the Netherlands), bussa, bussha, buyssa (1417, 1442 in British sources).Most of the 12th- and 13th-cent. uses of post-classical Latin bucia refer to the crusades (the earliest attestation refers to the First Crusade (in form buza ); the earliest in British sources to the Third Crusade). Compare Arabic buṭsa (military) transport vessel (typically in the context of the Crusades), apparently a loanword, perhaps < a Romance language. A connection with the Romance base for butt n.4 has been suggested, but this poses formal difficulties. Earlier currency of the simplex in English (which would probably represent a separate borrowing < early Scandinavian) may be implied by buscarl n. (see discussion at that entry). Compare also Old Occitan bus (12th cent.), Catalan †bus (first half of the 13th cent.), Spanish †buso (first half of the 15th cent.), all masculine, unlike the French, Germanic, and most Latin forms, which are feminine. Compare the following early example, although it is unclear whether it should be interpreted as showing the Middle English or the Anglo-Norman word:c1350 in J. C. Tingey Rec. City of Norwich (1910) II. 201 Del Neef q' porte seel, j fat. D' le Busse, iiij d.
Now historical.
1. A type of large cargo ship designed for heavy loads. Now rare.Attested earliest in the context of naval fleets, where it was apparently used as a transport for troops and supplies.In later use perhaps similar in build and rig to the fishing vessels of sense 2.
