单词 isolated
释义

isolatedadj.

Brit. /ˈʌɪsəleɪtᵻd/, U.S. /ˈaɪsəˌleɪdᵻd/
Etymology: < French isolé (1642 in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter), < Italian isolato (see isolate adj.) + -ed suffix1. (The French isolé was at first used unchanged or with -d , isolé'd .) Since the formation of isolate v., isolated has ranked as its past participle. N.E.D. (1900) also gives the pronunciation (i·sŏleitėd) /ˈɪsəleɪtɪd/.
a. Placed or standing apart or alone; detached or separate from other things or persons; unconnected with anything else; solitary.
