单词 maninose
释义

maninosen.

Brit. /ˈmanᵻnəʊz/, U.S. /ˈmænəˌnoʊz/
Forms:

α. 1600s mannanose, 1700s– man of nose, 1800s– mananose, 1800s– maninose, 1900s– manninose, 1900s– mannynose, 1900s– manynose.

β. 1800s– mananosay, 1800s– manonosay.

γ. 1800s– nannynose, 1900s– nanninose, 1900s– nanynose.

Origin: Probably a borrowing from Nanticoke.
Etymology: Probably < Nanticoke; the precise form of the etymon is unknown. It is clear that almost from its earliest attested instances the word has been affected by folk etymology; in particular the third syllable has been influenced by nose n., assisted by the creature's possessing a snoutlike extension. O.E.D. Suppl. (1976) enters this under mananosay and gives the pronunciation as (mænănōu·sēi) /mænəˈnəʊseɪ/; Webster (1961) also enters the word under mananosay, with mananose as an alternative head form (the word is not found in earlier editions); Cent. Dict. (1890) and Funk & Wagnalls New Standard Dict. Eng. Lang. (1928) enter it under maninose, as does the Dict. Amer. Regional Eng. (1996), which documents its regional forms and pronunciation.
