单词 occaecate
释义

occaecatev.

Forms: 1600s occaecate. N.E.D. (1902) also records a form occecate.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin occaecāt-, occaecāre.
Etymology: < classical Latin occaecāt-, past participial stem (compare -ate suffix3) of occaecāre (also obcaecāre ) to blind, block out the light, hide from view < ob- ob- prefix + caecāre to make blind < caecus blind (see caecum n.). Compare earlier occaecation n. and also slightly earlier occaecated adj.Classical Latin occaecāre is attested from Plautus (3rd–2nd cent. b.c.); the form obcaecāre is attested from the early 1st cent. b.c. (occasionally as a variant) and is more frequent. Of English words derived from this verb, those in obc- are recorded slightly earlier, but are apparently no more frequent than those in occ- (compare obcaecate adj., obcaecated adj., and obcaecation n.).
Obsolete. rare.
transitive. To blind.
