单词 discompose
释义

discomposev.

Brit. /ˌdɪskəmˈpəʊz/, U.S. /ˌdɪskəmˈpoʊz/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: dis- prefix, compose v.
Etymology: < dis- prefix + compose v. Compare Middle French descomposer to destroy (a person's joy) (c1400 in an apparently isolated attestation), Spanish descomponer (1495), Portuguese descompor (14th cent.), Italian discomporre (a1614; 1611 in Florio: see quot. 1611 at sense 3a). N.E.D. (1896) gave the following as a much earlier first example of this word (in sense 2a), but it has been impossible to verify this reading in any extant version of this text:1483 W. Caxton tr. Caton I iij b Thou oughtest not to wepe ne to discompose the when thow losest the rychesses and temporalle goodes of thys world.
