单词 alleged
释义

allegedadj.

Brit. /əˈlɛdʒ(ᵻ)d/, U.S. /əˈlɛdʒ(ə)d/
Forms: see allege v.1 and -ed suffix1.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: allege v.1, -ed suffix1.
Etymology: < allege v.1 + -ed suffix1. N.E.D. (1884) gives only the pronunciation (ăle·dʒd) /əˈlɛdʒd/, as do most British dictionaries. Pronunciation with three syllables (perhaps influenced by allegedly) is given as an alternative in Webster's Third Internat. Dict. Eng. Lang. (1961) and subsequent U.S. dictionaries.
1. Of an author, text, or passage: cited or quoted, esp. as an authority. Now rare.
