| 释义 | -lived in British English (-lɪvd) adjective (in combination) having or having had a life as specified short-lived -lived in American English (laɪvd; lɪvd) having (a specified kind or duration of) life long-lived Word origin < ME lyved: see life & -edlived in American English (laivd, lɪvd) adjective lived, meaning “having a certain kind or extent of life,” is not derived from the preteritand past participle of the verb live (liv), but from the noun life (līf), to which the suffix -ed has been added. The original pronunciation, therefore, and one still heard, is (līvd),which retains the vowel (ī) of life. Since the f of life changes to v with the addition of this suffix, as when leaf becomes leaved, this lived is identical in spelling with the preterit and past participle lived, and conflation of the two has led to the increasingly frequent pronunciation ofthis lived as (livd) in such combinations as long-lived and short-lived. Both pronunciations are considered standard(usually used in combination) having life, a life, or lives, as specified a many-lived cat Word origin [1350–1400; ME; see life, -ed3]Definition of '-lived' |
