单词 byrthynsak
释义

byrthynsakn.

Forms: Middle English berthynsak, Middle English byrthynsak, berthinsak, (1500s–1600s byrthinsak, berthinsek, birdinsek, burdingseck, burdensack).
Etymology: Derived by Skene (1609) < burden n. + sack n.1, and explained accordingly; but no reference to a ‘sack’ appears in the original passages in the Assisæ of William the Lion (and its vernacular version), or in the Regiam Majestatem. The early vernacular form byrthynsak, berthinsak, appears to be < Old English byrðen burthen + sacu legal process, action at law, jurisdiction. But the latinized forms iburþenenseca, yburþananseca, present features not easily explained.
Scots Law. Obsolete.
(See quots.)
ΘΚΠ
the mind > possession > taking > stealing or theft > [noun] > as much as can be carried on the back
