单词 altercate
释义

altercatev.

Brit. /ˈɔːltəkeɪt/, /ˈɒltəkeɪt/, U.S. /ˈɔltərˌkeɪt/, /ˈɑltərˌkeɪt/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin altercāt-, altercārī.
Etymology: < classical Latin altercāt-, past participial stem (see -ate suffix3) of altercārī to dispute, argue, wrangle, ultimately < alter another (see alter n.; scholars disagree on the precise details of the formation shown by the Latin verb). Compare Middle French, French †alterquer (1459; rare after 1600), Old Occitan altercar (c1420), Catalan altercar (15th cent.), Spanish altercar (late 14th cent.), Portuguese altercar (15th cent., earliest in past participle altercado ), Italian altercare (a1565), all in sense 1. Compare earlier altercation n., altercand adj. N.E.D. (1884) also gives the pronunciation as (æ·ltəɹkeit) /ˈæltəkeɪt/.
