释义

polygraphicadj.n.

Brit. /ˌpɒlɪˈɡrafɪk/, U.S. /ˌpɑliˈɡræfɪk/
Forms: 1700s polygraphick, 1700s– polygraphic.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Greek πολυγράϕος , -ic suffix; polygraphy n., -ic suffix; polygraph n., -ic suffix.
Etymology: Partly < Hellenistic Greek πολυγράϕος (adjective) writing much (see polygraph n.) + -ic suffix (compare post-classical Latin polygraphicus (of a book) dealing with many subjects (1735 or earlier: compare quot. 1735 at sense A. 1)), partly < polygraphy n. + -ic suffix, and partly (in sense A. 4) < polygraph n. (see sense 3 at that entry) + -ic suffix. With sense A. 2b and use as noun compare slightly earlier polygraph n. 1. Compare French polygraphique (1561 in an apparently isolated attestation in Middle French in sense A. 3; 1736 as †poligraphique , and subsequently from 1869, in sense A. 1; now chiefly in sense ‘of or relating to printing’ (1894 or earlier in this sense; compare sense A. 2a)), Italian poligrafico of or relating to printing (1812). Compare earlier polygraphical adj.It is unclear whether the following earlier quot. shows a post-classical Latin or English word:1672 (title) Polygraphice; or The art of drawing, engraving etc.
