单词 feldspar
释义

feldsparn.

Brit. /ˈfɛl(d)spɑː/, U.S. /ˈfɛl(d)ˌspɑr/
Forms: α. 1700s feldspat(h, feltspat. β. 1700s fieldspar, 1700s– feldspar. γ. 1700s–1800s felspar.
Etymology: The forms feldspat(h , feltspat are adoptions (the latter through Swedish) of German feldspat(h, < feld field n.1 + spat(h spar. Almost contemporaneously appear the wholly or partially translated forms field-, feldspar. The corrupt spelling felspar was introduced by Kirwan on the ground of a supposed derivation < fels.
