词汇 | sackbut |
词根词缀 | 词源: "medieval wind instrument," 1509, from Fr. saquebute, a bass trumpet with a slide like a trombone; presumably identical with O.N.Fr. saqueboute (14c.), "a lance with an iron hook for pulling down mounted men," said to be from O.N.Fr. saquier "to pull, draw" + bouter "to thrust." In Dan. iii.5, used wrongly to transl. Aramaic sabbekha, name of a stringed instrument (translated correctly in Septuagint as sambuke, and in Vulgate as sambuca, both names of stringed instruments, and probably ult. cognate with the Aramaic word). The error began with Coverdale (1535), who evidently thought it was a wind instrument and rendered it with shawm (q.v.); the Geneva translators, evidently following Coverdale, chose sackbut because it sounded like the original Aramaic word, and this was followed in KJV and Revised versions. |
