| 释义 | junta /hoon"teuh, jun"-, hun"-/, n. 1. a small group ruling a country, esp. immediately after a coup d'état and before a legally constituted government has been instituted. 2. a council. 3. a deliberative or administrative council, esp. in Spain and Latin America. 4. junto. [1615-25; < Sp: a meeting, n. use of fem. of L junctus, ptp. of jungere to JOIN; see JUNCTION] Pronunciation. When the word JUNTA was borrowed into English from Spanish in the early 17th century, its pronunciation was thoroughly Anglicized to /jun"teuh/. The 20th century has seen the emergence and, especially in North America, the gradual predominance of the pronunciation /hoon"teuh/, derived from Spanish /hoohn"tah/ through reassociation with the word's Spanish origins. A hybrid form /hun"teuh/ is also heard. |
