单词 mar-
释义

mar-comb. form

Stress is determined by a range of factors though some degree of stress is usually maintained on this combining form.
Forms: 1500s–1600s marre-, 1500s– mar-.
Origin: Formed within English, by conversion. Etymons: mar v., mar n.1
Etymology: Partly < mar v., and partly < mar n.1The model for the type of formation seen in sense 1 was evidently the pseudonym ‘Martin Marprelate ’ (1588: see Marprelate n., Marprelate v.), whose inventor was also the coiner of the earliest example here; the appearance in the 17th cent. of the type of formation seen in sense 2 is probably due to the notoriety of the recent Marprelate controversy.
1. Prefixed to nouns, to form nouns with the sense ‘a person who mars’, in many ad hoc formations (chiefly names) occurring in the Marprelate tracts or in later works referring to them. Now historical.
