释义

In British English, "darby" can refer to a major horse race, known as a Derby. Historically, it can also mean iron handcuffs used to restrain prisoners.

用法与细微差别

"Darby" is rare in modern English. The spelling "Derby" is far more common for both the horse race and British sports events; "darby" as iron handcuffs is archaic. In U.K. English, "Derby" in a sports context is pronounced 'darby', but the spelling usually stays as "Derby".
