释义

pintadon.

Brit. /pɪnˈtɑːdəʊ/, U.S. /pɪnˈtɑdoʊ/
Inflections: Plural pintadoes.
Forms: 1500s paintago, 1600s pantado, 1600s payntatha, 1600s paytadoe (perhaps transmission error), 1600s pentado, 1600s pinthado, 1600s 1900s– pintade, 1600s– pintado, 1700s pintardo, 1700s– pintada.
Origin: Perhaps of multiple origins. Apparently a borrowing from Portuguese. Perhaps also partly a borrowing from Spanish. Etymons: Portuguese pintado; Spanish pintado.
Etymology: Apparently < Portuguese pintado painted (13th cent.; also formerly as noun in sense ‘cotton cloth’), use as adjective of past participle of pintar to paint (13th cent.) < an unattested post-classical Latin verb *pinctare , frequentative of classical Latin pingere to paint < *pinctus , unattested variant of classical Latin pictus painted (see pictogram n.). In later use perhaps also < Spanish pintado full of spots (1250), use as adjective of past participle of pintar (see paint v.1). In sense 3 apparently after Portuguese pintada guinea fowl, variable seedeater (1609); compare also Catalan pintada (a1374), Spanish pintada . In quot. 1698 at sense 3 and in recent use in this sense after French pintade (1637 as pintarde).With sense 2 compare American Spanish (Chile) pintado . With sense 4 compare Brazilian Portuguese pintado Pimelodus maculatus, Pimelodus clarias, pintada Aetobatus narinari, Spanish pintada Scomberomorus regalis, carite pintado, sierra pintada Scomberomorus maculatus.
