单词 lateen
释义

lateenadj.n.

Brit. /ləˈtiːn/, /laˈtiːn/, U.S. /ləˈtin/, /læˈtin/
Forms:

α. 1500s latten, 1700s latin.

β. 1700s–1800s latine, 1700s–1800s latteen, 1700s– lateen, 1800s lattine.

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from French, combined with an English element; modelled on an Italian lexical item. Etymons: Latin adj., French latine, latin.
Etymology: Apparently originally a specific use of Latin adj., after similar specific use of Italian latino (a1519 designating a sail of this kind, late 16th cent. or earlier designating boats with this kind of sail, 1614 in vela latina , lit. ‘Latin sail’) and Spanish latino (c1527 or earlier in vela latina ), with allusion to the use of sails of this kind in the Mediterranean. The β. forms show remodelling immediately after the Italian and Spanish adjectives, and perhaps also after Middle French latine, feminine of latin Latin adj., in voile latine, lit. ‘Latin sail’ (1553 or earlier, itself probably after Italian or Spanish).
A. adj.
1. Of a boat, mast, yard, etc.: possessing or used with a triangular sail suspended by a long yard at an angle of about 45 degrees to the mast, as lateen mizzen, lateen vessel, lateen yard, etc.
