英和和英

語源

From 中期英語 kilne, from 古期英語 cyln, cylen, cylin (“large oven, kiln”), from Latin culīna (“kitchen, kitchen stove”).

中期英語 -ln(e) usually becomes modern -ll as in mill. The pronunciation /kɪln/ may be based on dialects in which this simplification did not take place, but it must have been at least reinforced by spelling pronunciation.

発音

• (Received Pronunciation) IPA: /kɪln/, (dated) /kɪl/
• (General American) IPA: /kɪln/
• 韻: -ɪln, -ɪl
• Homophone: kill (for /kɪl/)

名詞

kiln (plural kilns)
