单词 ostracine
释义

ostracineadj.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: ostracean adj., ostraceous adj., -ine suffix1.
Etymology: < ostrac- (in ostracean adj., ostraceous adj.) + -ine suffix1. Compare scientific Latin ostracina (1801 as specific name), French ostracins (plural noun: C. Duméril Zool. Analytique (1806) 176, as name for a group of crustaceans (ostracods) likened to oysters in having valved shells; R. G. Mayne Expos. Lexicon Med. Sci. (1860) gives also the French adjective ostracin and the scientific Latin form Ostracini in this sense). N.E.D. (1903) gives the pronunciation as (ǫ·străsin) /ˈɒstrəsɪn/.
Zoology. Obsolete. rare. Apparently only attested in dictionaries or glossaries.
Resembling an oyster.It is not clear whether the entry in Cent. Dict., equating the term to ostracean (applied to bivalve molluscs) rather than ostracod (applied to crustaceans), reflects evidence of usage in this specific sense, or a misunderstanding.
