单词 -ulent
释义

-ulentsuffix

Primary stress is attracted to the syllable immediately preceding this suffix and vowels may be reduced accordingly.
Etymology: < Latin -ulentus employed to form adjectives, usually with the force of ‘abounding in’, ‘full of’ (some thing or quality), as fraudulentus fraudulent, opulentus opulent, truculentus truculent, etc. Variant forms of the suffix are -olentus, as in vinolentus vinolent, violentus violent, and -ilentus as in gracilentus slender, pestilentus pestilent.
A considerable number of the formations occurring in Latin have been adopted in English, and a few have been added either from medieval or modern Latin, or by direct formation on Latin stems, as cinerulent, flatulent, herbulent, nidorulent, torpulent.
