单词 demeanour
释义

demeanourn.

/dɪˈmiːnə/
Forms: Middle English–1600s demeanure, 1500s demeaner, ( demeanewr, 1600s demeaneure), 1500s–1800s demeanour, demeanor, (1500s demeanoure); also 1500s demenour, demeinour, demain-, demaner, 1500s–1600s demanour, (1500s demesner, demeasnure, 1600s demesnour).
Etymology: A derivative of demean v.1, apparently of English or Anglo-Norman formation: the corresponding Old French words are demenement , demené , demenée . It is not certain from the evidence whether the suffix was originally -ure , Old French -eüre < Latin -ātūra , as in armour , or the French -er of the infinitive, taken substantively, as in demurrer , disclaimer , dinner , supper , user , etc. In either case the ending is assimilated to the -our of Anglo-Norman words like honour , favour , etc., and -or (favoured in U.S.) a further alteration of this after honor , favor . Compare behaviour n.
1.
a. Conduct, way of acting, mode of proceeding (in an affair); conduct of life, manner of living; practice, behaviour. Formerly often with a and plural.
