单词 aerate
释义

aeratev.

Brit. /ɛːˈreɪt/, U.S. /ˈɛˌreɪt/
Forms: 1700s– aerate, 1700s– aërate.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin aërat-, aërari.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin aërat-, past participial stem (see -ate suffix3) of aërari ( T. Bergman Opuscula physica et chemica (1779) I. 9) < classical Latin āēr air n.1 Compare slightly earlier aerated adj.In quot. 1791 at sense 2a rendering French aérer to ventilate (see air v.). N.E.D. (1884) gives the pronunciation as (ē·əreit) /ˈeɪəreɪt/. This trisyllabic pronunciation is still recorded in dictionaries in the later 20th century. A disyllabic pronunciation (with /ɛər-/) is recorded as an alternative from the first quarter of the 20th century, e.g. in D. Jones Eng. Pronouncing Dict. (1917). The British English shift of stress to the second syllable appears to be of recent origin.
