单词 quarental

quarentaln.

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Italian, combined with an English element. Etymons: Italian quaranta , -al suffix1.
Etymology: Apparently < Italian quaranta forty (see Quarant' Ore n.) + -al suffix1, after trental n. No corresponding noun appears to be recorded in Italian. In quot. ?1566 apparently resulting from a misapprehension of Italian quarantena forty days of penance (see quarantine n.); the Italian word is apparently not recorded in sense ‘set of forty requiem masses’.
Obsolete. rare.
A set of forty requiem masses.
