stauracin |
释义 |
ˈstauracin Antiq. rare—0. [ad. late L. stauracinus (also stauracium and stauracin indecl.). According to Du Cange s.v. Storax, the correct form is storacinus, an adj. meaning ‘of the colour of storax’; see the quot. from Papias (11th c.) ibid. The explanation cited below, based on a supposed derivation from Gr. *σταυράκιον dim. of σταυρός cross, was proposed by the Bollandists, but rejected by the Benedictine editors of Du Cange. The word has app. no real existence in English, but an attempt has been made to thrust it into the text of Marlowe Faustus 369 (iv. 17) as an ‘emendation’ for staues acre.] ‘A silken stuff figured with small crosses.’
