释义

pseudonymn.

Brit. /ˈs(j)uːdənɪm/, U.S. /ˈsudn̩ɪm/
Forms: 1800s pseudonyme, 1800s– pseudonym.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item, or perhaps modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: pseudo- comb. form, -onym comb. form.
Etymology: < pseudo- comb. form + -onym comb. form, probably after either French pseudonyme (1800 with reference to an author, 1834 with reference to people using an alias in general) or German Pseudonym (beginning of the 19th cent.; 17th cent. in Latinate form †Pseudonymus ), both in sense ‘false or fictitious name’, themselves after ancient Greek ψευδώνυμος under a false name, falsely named. Compare also Swedish pseudonym (1818 in sense 1; 1714 in sense ‘pseudonymous work’), Italian pseudonimo (1821). Compare earlier pseudonymal adj., pseudonymous adj.
