英语词汇“oubliette”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

For all you prison enthusiasts out there, the oubliette is like the Cadillac of dungeons. An oubliette is a specific type of dungeon that has only one escape route — through a trap door in its ceiling.

You may have seen oubliettes depicted in horror movies — unsuspecting places where psycho killers keep their victims. As you may have guessed from the spelling, oubliette is a French word.
