词汇 | willow |
词根词缀 | 词源: O.E. welig, from P.Gmc. *walg- (cf. O.S. wilgia, M.Du. wilghe, Du. wilg), probably from PIE *wel- "to turn, roll," with derivatives referring to curved, enclosing objects. The change in form to -ow (14c.) paralleled that of bellow and fellow. The more typical Gmc. word for the tree is represented by withy. Willowy "flexible and graceful" is attested from 1791. |
