keelie vine

释义

ˈkeelivine, keelie vine Sc. and north. dial.
Also (8 kilie vine), 9 kyle-, keela-, keely-, guilli-, cala-, -vine.
[Of uncertain origin.
In South of Scotl. and Northumberland pronounced as two (or three) words keelie vine (or keel i' vine), (contracted in Scotl. keelie, in Northumb. vine), and commonly explained as from keel n. + vine (referring to the pencil ‘vine’ or cedar), the name being only applied to a pencil enclosed in wood. But in other districts the name is pronounced as one word, and applied to the substance black-lead itself: cf. killow, another name of this. See other suggestions in Jamieson. If quot. 1720 belongs here, the correct etymology ought also to explain kilie vert there mentioned.]
A black-lead pencil, or more generally, any coloured pencil enclosed in wood (as a red keelie-vine); also, in some places, black-lead, plumbago.
