andiron (n.)
c. 1300, from Old French andier, which is of unknown origin, perhaps from Gaulish *andero- "a young bull" (cognates: Welsh anner "heifer"), which would make sense if they once had bull's heads cast onto them. Altered by influence of Middle English iren (see iron (n.)).
1. " Oh, if I only had a brass andiron - knob again!
“ 哦, 我要是再能得到那只柴架上的铜把手就好了!
