Acombとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Inherited from Northern 中期英語 Acom, Akom, from 古期英語 ācum, dative singular of āc (“oak”).

The traditional local pronunciations reflect the regular development of word-initial 古期英語 /ɑː/ to /ja~jɛ/ that occured in most traditional dialects of the North of England (north of the Humber–Lune line); compare yan (“one”).
