单词 cambrel
释义

cambreln.

/ˈkambrəl/
Forms: Middle English–1700s cambrel, 1500s camborell, 1600s cambrell, cambril, cammeril, 1800s dialect camrel, cammeril, cambril, cameral. See also chambrel n., gambrel n.
Etymology: It is uncertain whether this is a mere variant or alteration of cambren n. (given as a synonym by Blount and Bailey, and really a Welsh word), or whether it is to be referred to the verb camber v.French cambrer ; compare camber n. 2. The lateness of these words is against their being the source of cambrel ; on the other hand, the variant forms chambrel (in sense 2) and gambrel (in both senses) make the Welsh derivation difficult. Perhaps there has been contact of distinct words, and action of popular etymology.
? Obsolete exc. dialect.
1. A bent piece of wood or iron used by butchers to hang carcasses of animals on.
