单词 compline
释义

complinen.

/ˈkɒmplɪn/
Forms: α. Middle English cumplie, cumpelie, Middle English compli, compleie; β. Middle English compelin, Middle English comepelyn, compelyn; Middle English–1500s complyn, Middle English– complin, 1600s– compline (also Middle English–1500s complene, Middle English complenne, 1500s compleyn, complayn, compleine, compling); γ. 1500s–1800s complines.
Etymology: Middle English cumplie, < Old French conplie, complie, cumplie < Latin complēta (sc. hora), in modern French always plural complies. The form compelin, found already in 13th cent., later complin, has not been satisfactorily explained: the suggestion that it was an adjective form corresponding to a Latin *complētīnus (compare vespertīnus), is phonetically and analogically satisfactory, but still lacks evidence. In recent times, the plural complines, after the French and Latin and analogous to matins, has come in. The final e is modern and unhistorical.
a. In Catholic ritual: The last service of the day, completing the services of the canonical hours; also, the hour of that service.
