How Do You Spell PARBUCKLE?

Pronunciation: [pˈɑːbʌkə͡l] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "Parbuckle" can be challenging for some due to its unusual combination of letters. The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /pɑːbʌkəl/. The first syllable "par" sounds like "pa-" in "park," followed by "buckle" pronounced as "buhk-uhl." Parbuckle is a nautical term that refers to a method of hoisting heavy objects by means of a rope or cable looped around the load and passed under a spar or hull, then back to the winch or other gear for lifting.

PARBUCKLE Meaning and Definition

1. Parbuckle is a term that primarily refers to a technique or process used to move heavy objects, particularly in the maritime or construction industry. It is a verb used to describe the act of hoisting or lowering a large item, such as a heavy piece of machinery or a large load, by looping a rope or chain around the object and then rolling it along the ground or a support structure.

   The parbuckle method involves using a series of pulleys or winches to control the movement of the object. The rope or chain is passed around the item to create loops or bights, which are then tightened or slackened as needed to lift or lower the object. By rolling it along the ground or support structure, the weight is distributed evenly and allows for controlled movement.

   This technique is often used when traditional lifting methods, such as cranes or forklifts, are insufficient or impractical due to the size or shape of the object being moved. Parbuckling provides a versatile and effective solution for handling large or awkward loads, and it is especially useful in situations where precision and control are required.

   The term "parbuckle" originated from the French word "parboulquer," which means "to careen" or "to roll." Over time, it has become a widely recognized term within the industries mentioned, and it remains an essential technique for safely and efficiently moving heavy objects.

2. • Among seamen, a rope formed like a pair of slings, and fastened at one end, employed for hoisting casks, &c.

   • To hoist, lower, or roll by means of ropes formed into a parbuckle.

Etymology of PARBUCKLE

The word "parbuckle" originates from the Old French word "parbocle" or "perbocle", which was derived from the Latin word "per" meaning "through" and "buculum" meaning "a small wooden beam". In the late 16th century, the term "parbuckle" emerged in English and was used to refer to a method of hoisting or lowering heavy objects using ropes and a single pulley system. The term has remained largely unchanged since then and is still used today in maritime and construction contexts.
