- 1河中小島（英國用語；台灣日常幾乎不會碰到）
An eyot is a small island in a river. It is a British word, and you meet it in place names — especially along the Thames — and in older or local writing. Many British people still say those place names even if, in a normal sentence, they would just say a little island. It is a landscape word, not a conversation word for most : a tiny piece of land with water all round it, sitting in the stream. Another spelling of the same word is ait.
組成From Middle English eyt, eit, from an Old English diminutive — a “little” form — of the old word for island (īg / ēg), which is also the first piece of island. The same old island-word sits behind English ey (“island”) and behind ait, another spelling of this word.
