单词 yacht
释义

yachtn.

Brit. /jɒt/, U.S. /jɑt/
Forms: 1500s yeagh, 1600s yaacht, yoath, yolke ?, yaugh, yuaght, yought, y(e)aught, (Scottish z(e)aught, with z for ȝ), yaucht, jacht, yach, ( yacth), yat, yott, 1600s–1800s yatcht, yatch (plural 1600s–1700s yatchs, 1700s yatches), 1600s– yacht.
Etymology: < early modern Dutch jaght(e (now jacht ) = jaghtschip (lit. ship for chasing), light sailing vessels, fast piratical ship, < jag(h)t hunting, chase (= German jagd ), < jagen to hunt, chase (see -t suffix3 1). Owing to the presence in the Dutch word of the unfamiliar guttural spirant denoted by g(h), the English spellings have been various and erratic; how far they represent varieties of pronunciation it is difficult to say. That a pronunciation /jɔtʃ/ or /jatʃ/, denoted by yatch, once existed seems to be indicated by the plural yatches; it may have been suggested by catch, ketch. The word has been adopted in many European languages: French yacht/jak/, German jacht-, yacht(schiff), Danish jagt, Middle Swedish jackt (15th cent.), Icelandic, Swedish jakt, Spanish yacte, yate, yac, Portuguese hiate, Russian yakta.
A light fast-sailing ship, in early use esp. for the conveyance of royal or other important persons; later, a vessel, usually light and comparatively small, propelled by motive power other than oars, and used for pleasure excursions, cruising, etc., and now esp. one built and rigged for racing.
