词组 rote; rout
释义 rote; rout
noun
in Nova Scotia, the sound of the surf on the shore, a fisherman’s locating device CANADA
This word, not long in print, descended orally from an Old Norse word rauta meaning “roar”. The different sounds of the surf tell fishermen whose GPS has broken down whether they are near sand, cliff, shingle or gravel beach, and their knowledge of the coastline does the rest.
  • The fog was thick, and when Mr. Nickerson stopped the engine and seemed to be listening I asked what he was doing. “I’m listening for the rote,” he explained. “The surf breaks with a different sound all along the shore.” — Helen Creighton, A Life in Folklore, p. 160, 1975
