单词 psalterium
释义

psalteriumn.

Brit. /sɔːlˈtɪərɪəm/, /sɒlˈtɪərɪəm/, U.S. /sɔlˈtɪriəm/, /sɑlˈtɪriəm/
Inflections: Plural psalteria.
Forms: Old English 1600s– psalterium, late Old English sælterium (Kentish).
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin psaltērium.
Etymology: < classical Latin psaltērium stringed instrument, in post-classical Latin also the biblical Book of Psalms, a psalter (4th cent.; from 8th cent. (frequently from 11th cent.) in British sources), an area of the brain, lyra (1747 in the passage translated in quot. 1779 at sense 3) < ancient Greek ψαλτήριον stringed instrument, in Hellenistic Greek also Book of Psalms < ψάλλειν to twitch, twang, play (see psalm n.) + -τήριον , suffix forming nouns. With sense 4 compare French psautier (1752 in this sense; c1393 in Middle French in an apparently isolated use as psaultier , saultier ), spec. use of psautier psalter n.; apparently so called on account of its appearance (compare quot. 1859 at sense 4).In Old English used with Latin case inflections (compare quot. OE at sense 1). The word was evidently reborrowed in the 16th cent., and there is no continuity of use with the Old English. N.E.D. (1909) also gives the pronunciation (psæltīə·riɒ̆m) /psælˈtɪərɪʌm/.
1. A small ancient or medieval stringed instrument, trapezoidal or rectangular in shape and played like a harp or lyre. Later also: a similar instrument with a sounding board or box; = psaltery n. 1. historical in later use.
