单词 musteefino
释义

musteefinon.

Brit. /mʌstᵻˈfiːnəʊ/, U.S. /ˌməstᵻˈfinoʊ/, Caribbean English /ˌmʌstɪˈfiːnoː/
Forms: 1800s maestifino, 1800s musteephina, 1800s mustiphini, 1800s mustiphino, 1800s– mustafina Brit. /mʌstəˈfiːnə/, U.S. /ˌməstəˈfinə/, 1800s– musteefino, 1900s– mustafenia Brit. /mʌstəˈfiːnɪə/, U.S. /ˌməstəˈfiniə/.
Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: mustee n..
Etymology: Apparently an extended form of mustee n.; it is uncertain whether the second element is arbitrary, or perhaps shows Spanish fino fine (see fine adj.). N.E.D. (1908) enters this under mustafina and gives the pronunciation as (mɒstāfīnā) /mʌstəfiːnə/.
Now chiefly Caribbean and historical.
A person having one white-skinned parent and the other a mustee.
