单词 inquaintance
释义

inquaintancen.

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: acquaintance n., in- prefix3.
Etymology: Alteration of acquaintance n. with substitution of in- prefix3 for ac- prefix, as suggesting a greater degree of intimacy (perhaps specifically with allusion to intimate adj.).Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˌinˈquaintance.
fancifully used by (and after) Coleridge for ‘intimate acquaintance’.

a1834 Coleridge in Fraser's Mag. (1835) XI. 54 Friendships..The sorts, methinks, may be reduced to three. Acquaintance many, and Conquaintance few; But for Inquaintance I know only two—The friend I've mourned with, and the maid I woo!
1840 Fraser's Mag. 22 613 There must be a want of ‘inquaintance’ (if I may borrow Coleridge's word) with the spirit of Shakspeare's plays.
