单词 autograph
释义

autographn.adj.

Brit. /ˈɔːtəɡrɑːf/, /ˈɔːtəɡraf/, U.S. /ˈɔdəˌɡræf/, /ˈɔdoʊˌɡræf/, /ˈɑdəˌɡræf/, /ˈɑdoʊˌɡræf/
Forms:

α. 1600s authograph, 1600s autographe, 1600s– autograph.

β. 1600s autographa's (plural, in sense A. 1b), 1600s autographum, 1600s–1700s autographon, 1600s– autographa (plural, in sense A. 1b).

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: French autographe; Latin autographum, autographus; Greek αὐτόγραϕος.
Etymology: As noun partly < French autographe manuscript written in the author's own handwriting (16th cent. in Middle French; < Hellenistic Greek αὐτόγραϕος : see below), and partly (esp. in β. forms ending in -um and (in plural) in -a ) < post-classical Latin autographum that which is written in a person's own handwriting, the author's own manuscript (1554 in a British source, or earlier), (only in plural autographa ) the original manuscripts of books of the Bible (1645 or earlier), use as noun of neuter of classical Latin autographus (see below). In sense A. 3 after autography n. 4. As adjective < classical Latin autographus and its etymon Hellenistic Greek αὐτόγραϕος written with one's own hand < ancient Greek αὐτο- auto- comb. form1 + -γραϕος -graph comb. form. With use as adjective compare French autographe, adjective (1611 in Cotgrave).The form authograph is perhaps influenced by author n. In β. forms partly (in forms in -um ) directly < post-classical Latin, and partly (in form autographon ) after Greek neuter nouns ending in -ον . The plural form autographa is after the Latin plural form; the plural form autographa's in quot. 1658 at sense A. 1bβ. shows a redundant double plural marking.
A. n.
1.
a. A manuscript written in the author's own handwriting. Now esp.: a composer's handwritten musical score. Cf. holograph n.
