英语词汇scow的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	scow
词源	scow. Scow is another word born in America; its parent is the Dutch schouw, “a large flat-bottomed pole boat or river boat,” which, through a mispronunciation, became scow. Usually serving as a ferryboat or lighter in the beginning, the scow first entered the language in the mid 17th century and is first re- corded in 1669. To scow meant to cross a river by scow and America has since known cattle, dumping, ferry, mud, oyster, snag, sand, steam, stone-trading, and garbage scows.
