词组 | kilt |
释义 | kilt In Scotland, the traditional knee-length skirt worn by men is called a kilt. Outside of Scotland, the established singular form is also kilt, but analogy with such familiar words as pants and trousers occasionally leads to the addition of an -s: • The Indian wearing kilts was supposed to represent the "Mohawks" who had staged the Tea Party — Leslie Thomas, Long May It Wave, 1941 This use of kilts, which our evidence shows to be rare, has been cited as an error by several commentators. You can be sure that the Scottish dislike it as well. |
