conques |
| 释义 |
† ˈconques, -queis, v. Sc. Obs.
Also 6 -ys, -eas, 6–7 -ess, 7 -ise, -ish.
[Exact formation doubtful: possibly f. conquese n.; or, like it, from the F. pa. pple. conquis, -ise (cf. comprise, compromise); but it may have been from the earlier pa. pple. conquest, by treating the t as the native suffix and taking conques as the stem. Conquest was subseq. treated as its pa. pple. and pa. tense (as if = conques + t), and conformed to its variant spellings, as conqueist, -queast, -quist.]
