单词 woolward
释义

woolwardadj.

Forms: see wool n.; also 1500s woldward.
Etymology: Middle English wolleward , probably alteration of *wollewerd (of which there is perhaps a relic in the form wellewerd , for wollewerd , of quot. 1480 at sense a), from an unrecorded Old English *wullwerd , < wull wool n. + -werd , -wered wearing, clothed (in), < stem of werian wear v.1 (compare Old English línenwerd clothed in linen, and probably scírwered , sweglwered ‘clothed’ or enveloped in brightness). The assimilation of -werd to -ward suffix, initiated by lack of stress, would be furthered by the prevalence of the word in the phrase to go woolward (compare to go heavenward).
Obsolete.
a. Wearing wool next the skin, esp. as a penance: chiefly in to go woolward.
