单词 yfell
释义

yfellv.

Forms: 1. Present stem early Old English gesylleð (3rd singular indicative, transmission error), Old English gefillan, Old English gefyllan, Old English gefylð (3rd singular indicative), Old English gifælla (Northumbrian). 2. Past tense Old English gefælde (Anglian), Old English gefylde, Old English gefyllde. 3. Past participle Old English gefælled (Northumbrian), Old English gefeld- (inflected form), Old English gefyld- (inflected form), Old English gefylled, Old English gifælled (Northumbrian).
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Middle Dutch gevellen to knock (a person) down, to kill (a person), to overturn (a thing), to cause (a person) to sin, Middle Low German gevellen to knock (a person) down, to kill (a person), to overturn (a thing), to cause (a person) to sin, Old High German gifellan to cause (a person) to sin, to ruin (a person) (Middle High German gevellen , German †gefällen also ‘to knock (a person) down’) < the Germanic base of y- prefix + the Germanic base of fell v. Compare fell v.It is unclear whether Old English prefixed forms of the past participle represent the prefixed or the unprefixed verb, i.e. yfell v. or fell v., as formally they may belong to either. For this reason all Old English prefixed past participle forms have been repeated in the Forms sections of both entries.
Obsolete.
transitive. To knock or strike down; to lay low; to fell.Quot. lOE is from a legal tract probably written (or at least rewritten) by Wulfstan.
