Such a verb does exist in Old High German, though only in extended and/or specialized senses (see the note at felt entry 1). The word anvil was originally a deverbal compound meaning in effect "the thing on which striking is done." Already in Old English the makeup of the compound would have been less than transparent, as a verb corresponding to the deverbal second element -fealt/-filt( e) does not appear to have existed (or at least is not attested). Middle English anfeld, anefelt, anvelt, anvyll, going back to Old English anfealt and anefilt, anelfilte, going back to Germanic *ana-falta- and *ana-feltja- (whence also, from the first, Old High German anafalz "anvil" and from the second, Middle Dutch aenvilte, anevilte), from *ana- "on" and *-falta-, *-feltja-, nominal derivatives from *faltan-, taken to mean "to strike, beat" - more at felt entry 1 These examples are programmatically compiled from various online sources to illustrate current usage of the word 'anvil.' Any opinions expressed in the examples do not represent those of Merriam-Webster or its editors. 2022 The sun fell on our helmets like an anvil. Tom Yulsman, Discover Magazine, Pruners come in two types: bypass and anvil. Nor'adila Hepburn, Better Homes & Gardens, Look for the dome-like protrusion shooting out above the anvil of the thunderstorm. 2021 Pruning shears are available in bypass, anvil, ratchet, and straight-blade. Ariel Cohen, Forbes, When Tampa Bay finally did get another hit off of him with one out in the fifth, the Red Sox ace - whose five-pitch mix was headlined by an anvil of a splitter - dispatched the next two Rays on a lineout and an inning-ending groundout to first on a splitter by Franco. 2023 In contrast, Orban warned his supporters that a vote against him was a vote for war and that the country should be wary of getting between the ‘Ukrainian anvil and the Russian hammer’. Will Sullivan, Smithsonian Magazine, 13 Mar. Roy Berendsohn, Popular Mechanics, 7 June 2023 But what leaves an archaeological record is when monkeys use rocks as hammers and anvils-that is, a rock that does the smashing and a rock that holds the item getting smashed. "Had two of these for over 10 years.Recent Examples on the Web Position the bar stock on the vise’s anvil and deliver a sharp blow to the chisel.It is very easy-to-use and does great job" – Iman Khazal of University of York "The Heated Golden Gate ATR Accessory is very useful, stable and lasts long."Very easy-to-use ATR, high quality IR spectra produced, using only a few mg" – Sami Goussous of Cambridge University.Can be used in both research and QC/factory environments" – Dave Clark of International Paint It is a very robust product, very simple-to-use and keep clean. "I've been using one of these for over 20 years now, producing excellent quality spectra for all types of materials from corrosive, volatile liquids to hard, crystalline solids and everything between.It also carries an advantage in preparation of toxic or harmful materials, as they can be prepared in a glove box, sealed, and then measured with a higher degree of operator protection than other infrared sampling methods. The demountable nature of the top plate enables it to be replaced with one that allows non-ambient spectroscopic analyses under different conditions of temperature and pressure. The standard lens material is ZnSe but KRS-5 lenses are also available as an option where access to the lower wavenumber region of the spectrum is required. The Golden Gate uses focusing lenses to achieve a tightly focused beam on the diamond ATR crystal. The robust design, strength, and inherent inertness of the Golden Gate™ diamond ATR element allows the spectral analysis of abrasive, hard, reactive, or corrosive samples. Specac’s Golden Gate™ ATR is a high-performance single reflection monolithic diamond ATR sampling accessory, featuring a diamond ATR element metal-bonded into a tungsten carbide mount, providing outstanding durability and exceptional chemical resistance.
