| 词汇 | pilcrow |
| 词源 | pilcrow. Pilcrow is an old name for a paragraph mark or drawing of a hand pointing, which are printing marks used to attract attention—a paragraph sign in the first case and a direc- tion in the other. The word is apparently a corruption of the word paragraph. Webster’s gives pilcrow as an obsolete name for a paragraph mark. But since there are no other names for the two signs above, pilcrow ought to be rehired. |
