naiadn.

Brit.

/ˈnʌɪad/, U.S.

/ˈnaɪˌæd/,

/ˈneɪˌæd/

Inflections: Plural naiads, naiades Brit.

/ˈnʌɪədiːz/, U.S.

/ˈneɪədiz/.

Forms: Middle English nard (transmission error), Middle English nayd (perhaps transmission error), Middle English– naiad, 1500s–1600s nayad, 1600s–1800s naïad.

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or (ii) a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin Nāïad-, Nāïas; Greek Ναιαδ-.

Etymology: < classical Latin Nāïad-, Nāïas river-nymph, nymph (Ovid) or its etymon ancient Greek Ναιαδ-, Ναϊάς river-nymph < the base of νάειν to flow (perhaps cognate with Sanskrit snu- to ooze, trickle) + -άς -ad suffix¹. In plural form naiades after the classical Latin and ancient Greek plural forms Nāïadēs and Ναϊάδες . Compare Middle French, French naïade (early 16th cent. in sense 1a; attested earlier in this sense in form nayade (c1490 in Middle French): see also note below). Compare also Italian naiade (a1321), Catalan nàiada (1429), Portuguese náiade (16th cent.).With sense 1b compare French naïade (1768 in Voltaire in this sense). In sense 2 after French naïades , plural (Lamarck Philosophie Zool. (1809) I. 318). In sense 3 after French naïade (1781; attested earlier in this sense in form nayade (1770)), and scientific Latin Naïades, Naiades, plural (A. L. de Jussieu Genera Plantarum (1789) p. lxiij and 18, respectively). Most 19th-cent. dictionaries give the pronunciation of the first syllable with the vowel of nay. Only Stormonth and Encycl. Dict. in the last quarter of the 19th cent., followed by most British dictionaries of the 20th cent., give it the vowel of nigh. N.E.D. (1906) gives the pronunciation as (nēⁱ·æ̆d, nəi·æ̆d) /ˈneɪæd/, /ˈnaɪæd/.

a. A nymph of fresh water, thought to inhabit a river, spring, etc., as its tutelary spirit. Occasionally: a representation of a water nymph in art, sculpture, etc.Originally in Greek Mythology, though often adopted in later classically influenced poetry. Naiads were distinguished from sea nymphs (cf. Nereid n. 1, Oceanid n. 1).
