单词 longtitude
释义

longtituden.

Brit. /ˈlɒŋtᵻtjuːd/, /ˈlɒŋtᵻtʃuːd/, U.S. /ˈlɔŋtəˌt(j)ud/, /ˈlɑŋtəˌt(j)ud/
Forms: 1500s langtitude, 1500s– longtitude.
Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: longitude n.
Etymology: Alteration of longitude n., probably after other nouns ending in -titude (compare especially latitude n.). Compare post-classical Latin longtitudo (from 8th cent. in British sources).Many examples of this form are probably typographical errors for longitude, but they persist in such large numbers and from such early times that a certain degree of currency can be assumed. There is also anecdotal evidence for pronunciation with the irregular medial t.
nonstandard.
= longitude n. (in various senses).
