单词 diabetic
释义

diabeticn.adj.

Brit. /ˌdʌɪəˈbɛtɪk/, U.S. /ˌdaɪəˈbɛdɪk/
Forms: 1600s–1700s diabetick, 1700s– diabetic.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin diabeticus.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin diabeticus (noun) person suffering from diabetes (from 13th cent. in British sources), disease characterized by the passage of large quantities of urine (a1541 in Paracelsus, in the passage translated in quot. 1660), (adjective) of or relating to diabetes or its treatment (from 14th cent. in British sources; see also note below) < classical Latin diabētēs , in post-classical Latin use denoting the disease (see diabetes n.) + -icus -ic suffix. Compare earlier diabetical adj.With the use in sense B. 1 compare post-classical Latin diabetica passio excessive thirst which causes people who suffer from it to drink, and subsequently expel by the bladder, large quantities of fluid (frequently from 14th cent. in British sources; compare diabetes n. 1b). Compare French diabétique (second half of the 15th cent. in Middle French as adjective, originally in passion diabetique; 1673 or earlier as noun), Italian diabetico (early 14th cent. as noun, a1498 as adjective). It is unclear whether the following earlier instance of the form diabetica should be taken as showing a borrowing of post-classical Latin diabetica diabetes (first half of the 14th cent. in British sources; short for diabetica passio), or as an instance of this Latin feminine noun in an English context:a1425 ( H. Daniel Liber Uricrisiarum (Wellcome 225) 483 Diabetica is an unmesurabill flux. A former alternative pronunciation with // in the penultimate syllable is given as obsolescent by N.E.D. (1895), although ed. 1 of Jones (1919) still has it as the main pronunciation.
