单词 ptere
释义

pteren.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymon: Greek πτερόν.
Etymology: < ancient Greek πτερόν wing, fin (see ptero- comb. form).It is not certain that Sollas conceived pteres as a plural form of ptere, since the only singular form he uses in the same article (p. 417/2) is pteron (plural ptera). N.E.D. (1909) gives French ptère as the direct source, but the French word does not appear to be attested in this sense. N.E.D. (1909) gives the pronunciation as (ptiəɹ, tīər) /(p)tɪə(r)/.
Zoology. Obsolete. rare.
A winglike lobe in certain sponge spicules.
ΚΠ
1887 W. J. Sollas in Encycl. Brit. XXII. 418/1 By growing towards the equator the opposed proral and pleural pteres may conjoin.
