释义

stationeryn.

Forms: 1700s–1800s (1900s– nonstandard) stationary, 1700s– stationery.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: stationer n.1, -y suffix1.
Etymology: < stationer n.1 + -y suffix1; compare -ery suffix. The word may have arisen through reanalysis of collocations such as stationary ware , originally showing stationary adj., but reanalysed as showing attributive use of a noun.Compare the spelling stationery in the following example, which probably shows a respelling of stationary adj. by association with stationer n.1, but would invite reanalysis as an attributive noun formed from stationer n.1:1679–88 in J. Y.
