单词 computate
释义

computatev.

Brit. /ˈkɒmpjᵿteɪt/, U.S. /ˈkɑmpjəˌteɪt/
Forms: late Middle English computate (past participle), 1500s–1600s 1800s– computate.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin computāt-, computāre.
Etymology: < classical Latin computāt-, past participial stem (see -ate suffix3) of computāre compute v. Compare computation n., and later compute v.There is apparently no distinction in sense between this word and compute v. In later use probably either reinforced by association with computation n. or independently formed as a back-formation from that word, unless used in place of compute v. as a result of association with a form in another language, e.g. Italian computare (see compute v.).
Now rare.
transitive. = compute v. 1a.
