单词 adventious
释义

adventiousadj.

Brit. /ədˈvɛnʃəs/, U.S. /ədˈvɛnʃəs/
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Apparently also partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: adventitious adj.; advention n., -ous suffix.
Etymology: Originally a misprint for adventitious adj. (and noted as such in a list of errata appended to the source cited in quot. 1633). In later use apparently irregularly < advention n. (see -ous suffix), on the analogy of contentious adj. besides contention n., although it is possible that some later instances may show misprints for adventitious adj.
= adventitious adj. (in various senses).
