cloy(v.)
"weary by too much, fill to loathing, surfeit," 1520s, 源自中古英语 cloyen "hinder movement, encumber"(14世纪晚期),缩写自 accloyen(14世纪早期),源自古法语 encloer "to fasten with a nail, grip, grasp," 比喻意义为 "to hinder, check, stop, curb",源自晚期拉丁语 inclavare "drive a nail into a horse's foot when shoeing",源自拉丁语 clavus "a nail"(源自 PIE 词根 *klau- "hook")。
Accloye is a hurt that cometh of shooing, when a Smith driveth a nail in the quick, which make him to halt. [Edward Topsell, "The History of Four-footed Beasts," 1607]
Accloye 是一种由于马蹄铁钉子钉入马蹄时伤害的疼痛,这使得马蹄受伤。[爱德华·托普塞尔,《四足兽的历史》,1607]
比喻意义 "fill to a satiety, overfill" 自14世纪晚期起可从 accloy 中证实。相关词汇: Cloyed; cloying。
