释义

apieceadv.

Brit. /əˈpiːs/, U.S. /əˈpis/
Forms: Middle English–1500s a pece, 1500s apece, apesse, 1500s–1600s a peece, a-peece, apeece, 1600s a peice, 1500s– a piece, a-piece, apiece.
Etymology: originally two words, a piece, as to reckon coins, pottery, cloth, etc., at so much a piece; but soon extended to objects of any collection, or individuals of a company; so that no consciousness of the connection with piece is ordinarily retained.
For each piece, article, thing, or (colloquial) person; each, for each, to each; severally, individually.
ΘΚΠ
the world > relative properties > kind or sort > individual character or quality > [adverb] > respectively > for or to each
