Brit.

/ˈkɔːnɪt/, U.S.

/ˌkɔrˈnɛt/

Forms: late Middle English–1800s cornette, late Middle English–1600s 1900s– cornett, late Middle English– cornet, 1500s cornat (Scottish), 1500s cornut (Scottish), 1600s cornete, 1700s cornit; N.E.D (1883) also records a form late Middle English cornete.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French cornet.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French, French cornet kind of (horn-shaped) wind instrument, kind of receptacle, inkhorn, inkwell (all first half of the 13th cent. in Old French), wing of an army (a1425 in a translation from Latin; compare note), horn of paper (1432 as cornet de papier ), kind of squid (1542; also more fully cornet de mer : see note), kind of whelk (1562 in cornet de mer ), instrument used for bloodletting (16th cent.), conical flask used e.g. in chemistry (1660 in the passage translated in quot. 1664 at sense 9), small coiled strip used in gold assaying (1790 in the passage translated in quot. 1791 at sense 10), each of the horny rings forming the rattle of a rattlesnake (1829 in the passage translated in quot. 1831 at sense 12) < corne horn (see corn n.³ and compare horn n.) + -et -et suffix¹.Compare Old Occitan cornet , Italian cornetto (14th cent.). Variant forms. With the form cornette compare -ette suffix. Specific senses. With use with reference to a wind instrument compare earlier horn n. 13 and also corn n.³ 1. The sense ‘inkhorn’ of French cornet was not borrowed into English directly, but is reflected in sense 7a, denoting a kind of squid; compare French cornet de mer , literally ‘sea inkhorn’ (1613 in the passage translated in quot. 1621), and inkhorn fish n. at inkhorn n. Compounds 1. With sense 7a compare also French cornet de mer , denoting a kind of whelk, although this probably reflects cornet , denoting the wind instrument (compare sea-cornet n. 1 and sea-trumpet n. 1, and also Buccinum n.). In use with reference to a small cucumber (see sense 8) after French cornichon cornichon n. With use with reference to a flared sleeve (see sense 11) compare French en cornet in the shape of a trumpet (19th cent. or earlier in dressmaking). In use with reference to a wing of an army (see sense 14) after classical Latin cornu, in the same sense (literally ‘horn’: see cornu n.); compare earlier horn n. 19. In use with reference to classical riding (see sense 15) probably after Italian cornetto (see cornetti n.); compare earlier cornetti n. and cornet v.¹

I. A musical instrument, or part of this.

1. †(a) A wind instrument made from or resembling a horn; a horn (obsolete). (b) Early Music. Now usually in the form cornett. A curved or straight wind instrument, mainly of the 15th to 17th centuries, made of wood or ivory, with a conical bore, finger holes, and usually a detachable mouthpiece; cf. cornetto n. 1b, zinke n. 2.Francis William Galpin (1858–1945) suggested the form cornett in the early 20th cent. as a means of distinguishing this sense from sense 3.figurative in quot. 1599.

单词	cornet
释义	cornetn.¹ Brit. /ˈkɔːnɪt/, U.S. /ˌkɔrˈnɛt/ Forms: late Middle English–1800s cornette, late Middle English–1600s 1900s– cornett, late Middle English– cornet, 1500s cornat (Scottish), 1500s cornut (Scottish), 1600s cornete, 1700s cornit; N.E.D (1883) also records a form late Middle English cornete. Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French cornet. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Middle French, French cornet kind of (horn-shaped) wind instrument, kind of receptacle, inkhorn, inkwell (all first half of the 13th cent. in Old French), wing of an army (a1425 in a translation from Latin; compare note), horn of paper (1432 as cornet de papier ), kind of squid (1542; also more fully cornet de mer : see note), kind of whelk (1562 in cornet de mer ), instrument used for bloodletting (16th cent.), conical flask used e.g. in chemistry (1660 in the passage translated in quot. 1664 at sense 9), small coiled strip used in gold assaying (1790 in the passage translated in quot. 1791 at sense 10), each of the horny rings forming the rattle of a rattlesnake (1829 in the passage translated in quot. 1831 at sense 12) < corne horn (see corn n.³ and compare horn n.) + -et -et suffix¹.Compare Old Occitan cornet , Italian cornetto (14th cent.). Variant forms. With the form cornette compare -ette suffix. Specific senses. With use with reference to a wind instrument compare earlier horn n. 13 and also corn n.³ 1. The sense ‘inkhorn’ of French cornet was not borrowed into English directly, but is reflected in sense 7a, denoting a kind of squid; compare French cornet de mer , literally ‘sea inkhorn’ (1613 in the passage translated in quot. 1621), and inkhorn fish n. at inkhorn n. Compounds 1. With sense 7a compare also French cornet de mer , denoting a kind of whelk, although this probably reflects cornet , denoting the wind instrument (compare sea-cornet n. 1 and sea-trumpet n. 1, and also Buccinum n.). In use with reference to a small cucumber (see sense 8) after French cornichon cornichon n. With use with reference to a flared sleeve (see sense 11) compare French en cornet in the shape of a trumpet (19th cent. or earlier in dressmaking). In use with reference to a wing of an army (see sense 14) after classical Latin cornu, in the same sense (literally ‘horn’: see cornu n.); compare earlier horn n. 19. In use with reference to classical riding (see sense 15) probably after Italian cornetto (see cornetti n.); compare earlier cornetti n. and cornet v.¹ I. A musical instrument, or part of this. 1. †(a) A wind instrument made from or resembling a horn; a horn (obsolete). (b) Early Music. Now usually in the form cornett. A curved or straight wind instrument, mainly of the 15th to 17th centuries, made of wood or ivory, with a conical bore, finger holes, and usually a detachable mouthpiece; cf. cornetto n. 1b, zinke n. 2.Francis William Galpin (1858–1945) suggested the form cornett in the early 20th cent. as a means of distinguishing this sense from sense 3.figurative in quot. 1599.
