单词 camshoch
释义

camshochadj.

Brit. /ˈkamʃəx/, /ˈkamʃək/, U.S. /ˈkæmʃək/, /ˈkæmʃəx/, Scottish English /ˈkamʃəx/
Forms: Also 1500s camschow, camscho, 1600s camschoche, 1700s campsho, 1700s–1800s camsheugh, 1800s camshach.
Etymology: The first part is evidently cam adj. ‘crooked, perverse’; the second perhaps represents Old English sceoh ‘askew, perverse’, of which schoch would be the normal Scotch form: Jamieson has also the Scots verbs sheuch, shach to distort, and shachle, shochle to distort, wriggle.
Scottish.
1. Crooked, distorted, awry; deformed.
