单词 adatis
释义

adatisn.

Brit. /ˈadətɪs/, U.S. /ˈædədəs/
Forms: 1600s adathaes, 1600s adathais, 1600s adatheys, 1600s adathise, 1600s–1800s addaties, 1700s–1800s adatys, 1700s– adatais, 1900s– adatis, 1900s– addatis.
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a borrowing from Bengali. Etymon: Bengali ādaṛ.
Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps ultimately < Bengali ādaṛ piece of cloth of half the standard size (now rare; apparently < Bengali ādhā half); compare (with different suffix) Hindi addhī half-piece of cloth, fine muslin (now rare). Compare Dutch adathays (1657 or earlier), French adatis, †adatais (1666 as adathais, or earlier; apparently < Dutch).The word usually occurs in plural contexts, in English as well as French and Dutch, so the final -s may originally reflect the plural ending in a European language. A form adati is sometimes posited as a dictionary headword in the late 19th and 20th centuries.
Now rare.
Very fine Indian muslin.
