Pillary

原声例句
当月 CNN 10 学生英语 2020年12月合集

Sure some may " pillary" that idea but what is the " statue" of limitations on a " monoliftery" ? It's not like it's set in stone.

当然,有些人可能会对这种想法嗤之以鼻,但为什么要加以限制呢?又不是一成不变的。

Pillory

(重定向自Pillary)
Gothic pillory (early 16th century) in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany
The pillory at Charing Cross in London, c. 1808.
Eighteenth-century illustration of perjurer John Waller pilloried and pelted to death in London, 1732
The Vere Street Coterie at the pillory in 1810.

The pillory was a device made of a wooden or metal framework erected on a post, with holes for securing the head and hands, formerly used for punishment by public humiliation and often further physical abuse. The pillory is related to the stocks.

The word is documented in English since 1274 (attested in Anglo-Latin from c. 1189), and stems from Old French pellori (1168; modern French pilori, see below), itself from medieval Latin pilloria, of uncertain origin, perhaps a diminutive of Latin pila "pillar, stone barrier."
