单词 callet
释义

calletn.

Brit. /ˈkalᵻt/, U.S. /ˈkælət/
Forms: Middle English kalote, Middle English–1500s calate, Middle English 1600s (1900s– Scottish) callot, Middle English–1700s calot, 1500s calat, 1500s callott, 1500s kallat, 1500s–1600s calette, 1500s–1600s callette, 1500s–1600s (1700s– English regional (northern)) callet, 1500s (1700s Scottish) calet, 1600s callat, 1800s– callit (English regional (Yorkshire)).
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps from a proper name. Etymon: proper name Kalote.
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps < a female forename Kalote (see note), perhaps a reduced form of the attested forename Katelote , pet form of the female forename Catherine or its variant Cateline (see Catherine n. and compare -ot suffix). Compare later Kit n.4 2, kitty n.1 1, kittock n., Katy n., and also jillet n.In early use, the name Kalote is often collocated in literary sources with the female forename Kit (compare Kit n.4 2) or (less often) Kate , both pet forms of the female forename Catherine (see Catherine n.); compare:c1400 (c1378) W. Langland Piers Plowman (Laud 581) (1869) B. xviii. l. 426 I..called kitte my wyf and kalote my douȝter.1532 T. More Confut. Tyndales Answere ii. p. cxxxi He take the lyghtesome lanterne of good ensample, by whych the worlde maye se for a shewe of holy matrymony, frere Luther and Cate calate hys nonne lye luskynge togyther in lechery.1546 J. Heywood Dialogue Prouerbes Eng. Tongue i. x. sig. Dv Kyt calot my cosyn sawe this thus far on.1610 S. Rid Martin Mark-all sig. G4 He carried about with him his whore Kyt Calot, which was termed the Queene of Egypties.The association between the two names, and use as a type-name for a foolish, disreputable, or promiscuous young woman, appear to be proverbial, although their source is unknown. Unlike Kit, Kalote does not seem to have been a common female forename in England, and appears not to be recorded in the usual documentary sources for medieval personal names, which usually give the full forms of forenames (often Latinized) rather than vernacular pet forms or shortenings; however, the surname of Johannes Kalet (1379, Lancashire) may provide indirect evidence for currency as a forename in England. The forename Katelote is attested in the late 14th cent. in an Anglo-Norman linguistic context as the name of a woman a priest is accused of trying to seduce (also 1292 as Catelot in Old French), and seems to have given rise to a derived surname in the Middle English period, as e.g. William Catelote (1327, Essex), William Catelot (1332, Bedfordshire).
derogatory.
1. A lascivious or sexually promiscuous woman; a prostitute, a strumpet. Also as a general term of abuse for a woman. Now archaic and English regional (northern).
