单词 uncongealable
释义

uncongealableadj.

Forms:

α. 1600s vncongealable, 1600s– uncongealable.

β. 1600s vncongelable, 1700s–1800s uncongelable.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; originally modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: un- prefix1, congeal v., -able suffix; un- prefix1, congealable adj.; un- prefix1, congelable adj.
Etymology: In α. forms originally < un- prefix1 + congeal v. + -able suffix, after French incongelable (see incongealable adj.). Compare later congealable adj., and also slightly later incongealable adj. In later use probably re-formed < un- prefix1 + congealable adj. In β. forms < un- prefix1 + congelable adj.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: unconˈgealable.
(un- prefix1 1b.)
