释义

absquatulatev.

Brit. /əbˈskwɒtjᵿleɪt/, /əbˈskwɒtʃᵿleɪt/, U.S. /ˌæbˈskwɑtʃəˌleɪt/
Forms: 1800s absquotilate, 1800s absquotulate, 1800s obsquatulate, 1800s obsquotlate, 1800s– absquatulate, 1900s– absquatelate.
Origin: Perhaps formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: English ab- , squat v., congratulate v., perambulate v., capitulate v.
Etymology: Perhaps humorously < ab- (compare ab- prefix and perhaps abscond v.) + squat v. (compare squat v. 9a) + -ulate (in e.g. congratulate v., perambulate v., capitulate v., etc.), in imitation of a word of Latin origin. Compare the parallel formation absquatulize v.; given the very close dates of first attestation, it is difficult to establish which word was in fact the earlier formation.With the forms in ob- compare ob- prefix.
humorous (originally and chiefly U.S.).
