单词 metalline
释义

metallineadj.

Brit. /ˈmɛtəlʌɪn/, /ˈmɛtl̩ʌɪn/, U.S. /ˈmɛdl̩ən/, /ˈmɛdl̩in/
Forms: late Middle English metallyne, late Middle English–1600s mettaline, late Middle English–1600s mettalline, late Middle English– metalline, 1500s metalling (perhaps transmission error), 1500s metallyen, 1500s–1600s mettalyne, 1500s–1700s metaline, 1600s metallin, 1600s mettelyne.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin metallinus.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin metallinus containing or made of metal (from c1041 in British sources) < classical Latin metallum metal n. + -īnus -ine suffix1. Compare Old French, Middle French metalin (13th cent.), Italian metallino (a1320), Old Occitan metalin (c1350). With sense 2 compare French métallin (19th cent.; earlier as isolated attestation in form metalin in 14th-cent. in Middle French). Compare metallic adj.Spelling evidence strongly suggests the availability during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries of a pronunciation with final /-ɪn/, although this appears to have been superseded by the time of the early pronouncing dictionaries. Johnson (1755) indicates stress falling on the second syllable, and there are sporadic indications of similar pronunciations elsewhere (as, for example, the metre of quot. 1850 at sense 3), but these are exceptional examples, and the consensus strongly favours first-syllable stress.
