kenspeck

释义

kenspeck, a. dial.|ˈkɛnspɛk|
Also 8 -spack, 9 -spec, -spac.
[Origin obscure: the form agrees with Norw. kjennespak, Sw. känspak, quick at recognizing persons or things (cf. ON. kennispeki faculty of recognition); but the change from the active to a passive sense makes difficulties. Some have suggested confusion with conspicuous, but evidence is wanting. Kenspecked is given by Skinner (1671) and Ray (1674), and in Craven and other Northern glossaries.]
= next.
