单词 abranchiate
释义

abranchiateadj.

Brit. /eɪˈbraŋkɪeɪt/, /eɪˈbraŋkɪət/, U.S. /eɪˈbrɑŋkiᵻt/, /eɪˈbrɑŋkiˌeɪt/, /eɪˈbræŋkiᵻt/, /eɪˈbræŋkiˌeɪt/
Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with English elements; modelled on Latin lexical items. Etymons: a- prefix6, Greek βράγχια , -ate suffix2.
Etymology: < a- prefix6 + ancient Greek βράγχια gills (see branchiae n.) + -ate suffix2, after scientific Latin Abranchiata (1828 or earlier), Abranchiatae (1831 or earlier), group names, which are in turn after French Abranches, plural noun ( Cuvier Le règne animal (1817) II. 516). Compare French abranche (adjective) belonging to a former group of annelids (1830 in the passage translated in quot. 1831, in a revised edition of Cuvier). Compare slightly later abranchial adj., branchiate adj. N.E.D. (1884) gives the pronunciation as (ăbræ·ŋkiĕt) /əˈbræŋkɪət/.
Zoology. Now rare.
Originally: †belonging to a former group Abranchiata or Abranchiatae of annelids (obsolete). In later use: (gen.) having no gills; not bearing gills.
