单词 legged
释义

leggedadj.

Brit. /ˈlɛɡᵻd/, /lɛɡd/, U.S. /ˈlɛɡəd/, /lɛɡd/
Forms: see leg n. and -ed suffix2.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: leg n., -ed suffix2.
Etymology: < leg n. + -ed suffix2. N.E.D. (1902) gives only the pronunciation (legd) /lɛɡd/. In most well-established compounds such as bow-legged, cross-legged, long-legged, one-legged, two-legged, three-legged, etc., it gives both (legd) /lɛɡd/ and (legėd) /lɛɡɪd/. The monosyllabic pronunciation is usual when the word is not the second element of a compound. The disyllabic pronunciation appears still to be common in compounds. There are certain exceptions such as gate-legged, compounds used in specialized names of birds and animals, and the more occasional general compounds, where the monosyllabic pronunciation is usual.
1.
a.
