单词 dichromacy
释义

dichromacyn.

Brit. /dʌɪˈkrəʊməsi/, U.S. /ˌdaɪˈkroʊməsi/
Forms: 1800s dichromasie, 1800s– dichromacy, 1800s– dichromasy.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: di- comb. form, -chromasy comb. form.
Etymology: < di- comb. form + -chromasy comb. form, after German Dichromasie (1881 or earlier). Compare earlier dichromatism n. 2.
Ophthalmology and Physiology.
Originally: colour blindness (in humans) in which only two of the primary colours of light can be distinguished. Also (in animals): the type of colour vision resulting from the presence of two types of colour-sensitive photopigment in the retina; an instance of this. Cf. monochromacy n., trichromasy n.The human retina normally contains photopigments sensitive to red, green, and blue light. Absence of one of these, typically occurring as an inherited condition, gives rise to one of the three types of dichromacy (protanopia, deuteranopia, and tritanopia).In many other species, including most mammals, dichromacy is the normal condition.
