单词 manifoldness
释义

manifoldnessn.

Brit. /ˈmanᵻfəʊldnəs/, U.S. /ˈmænəˌfoʊldnəs/
Forms: see manifold adj. and -ness suffix.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: manifold adj., -ness suffix.
Etymology: < manifold adj. + -ness suffix.It is probable that the word became obsolete in Middle English and was re-formed in the 16th cent. In quots. 1809-10 and 1877 at sense 1, the word is used after Kant's specialized application of German Mannigfaltigkeit; for this and sense 2 (which translates B. Riemann's specialized application of the same German word), see note s.v. manifold adj. and n.1
1. The quality or condition of being manifold; varied character; multiplicity. Also (in early use): †abundance (obsolete).
