| 词汇 | flax |
| 词根词缀 | 词源： O.E. fleax "cloth made with flax, linen," from P.Gmc. *flakhsan (cf. O.Fris. flax, Ger. Flachs), probably from P.Gmc. base *fleh-, corresponding to PIE *plek- "to weave, plait" see ply (v.)). But some connect it with PIE *plak- (see flay) from the notion of "stripping" fiber to prepare it. Flaxen "made of flax" is from O.E. fleaxen; as "the color of flax" (usually with reference to hair) it is attested from 1523. |
