“Erumpent”是17世纪出现的形容词,有“冒出,开放”的意思,用来表示“春天埋在地下的植物破土而出”。顺便提一下,植物刚刚萌芽被称为“breard”。
8 - 11. Frondescentia, frondescent, frondescence [frɔn'desəns], and frondesces
According to an 18th century dictionary of botanical terms, Frondescentia is “leafing season,” or “the time of the year when plants first unfold their leaves.” Likewise, a plant that is frondescent is just beginning to bud or produce leaves; frondescence is the process of budding or producing leaves; and when a plant frondesces, then it grows or puts forth leaves or buds. All four of these come from the Latin word for “leaf,” frons.
根据18世纪的植物学术语词典,“Frondescentia”指“发叶期”,或“一年间植物第一次长出叶子的时期”。同样的,形容刚发芽或长叶的植物可以用“frondescent”;“frondescence”指的是植物发芽或长叶的过程;当表示植物在长叶或发芽时,可以用“frondesces”。这4个单词都来自拉丁语中表示“叶子”的单词“frons”。
12. Routering-bout
Router is an old Yorkshire dialect word meaning “to rush around noisily,” or, as the English Dialect Dictionary puts it, “to make a search amidst a confusion of things.” Derived from that, a routering-bout is a thorough spring-cleaning of a house.
