n.（名詞）
<注釋>The members of an army traveling on a particularroad to carry out a raid probably would not draw a connection between the two words.However,raid and road descend from the same Old English word r3d. Theai in raid represents the standard development in the northern dialects of Old English long a, while theoa in road represents the standard development of Old English long a in the rest of the English dialects. Old Englishr3d meant .the act of riding. and .the act of riding with a hostile intent; that is, a raid,.senses that no longer exist for our wordroad. It was left to Sir Walter Scott to revive the Scots formraid with the sense .a military expedition on horseback..The Scots weren`t making all the raids, however.Others seem to have returned the favor,for we find these words in the Middle EnglishCoventry Leet Book : .aftur a Rode . . . made uppon the Scottes at thende of this last somer..The .Rode. was led by the non-Scottish Duke of Gloucester, who was later crowned as Richard III, and Henry Percy, Duke of Northumberland.
一支部隊的士兵在某條road （路）上行進以發動一場 raid （襲擊）， 這大概不會使這兩個詞之間產生什麼聯繫。然而raid 和 road 這兩個詞源於古英文中的同一個詞 rad 。 Raid 中的 ai 代表了古英文中北部發言中長 a 的標準發展， 而road 中的 oa 代表了其它地區古英文方言中長 a 的發展。 古英文中rad 的意思是.騎馬的行動和出於敵意而騎馬的行動； 也就是說，一次奇襲，.詞意中不再有路 這個意思。 沃爾特·斯科特爵士又恢復了raid 這個詞的蘇格蘭語形式， 其意思是.馬上的遠征.。然而，奇襲並不只是由蘇格蘭人發動。別人似乎也保留了對這個詞的偏好，因為我們在中世紀英文的考文垂史料 中發現了這段話： .在去年夏末對蘇格蘭發動的奇襲之後….。該.奇襲.是由後來被冠以查理三世的格洛斯特的非蘇格蘭公爵和諾森柏蘭的亨利·珀西公爵領導的
