marinen.adj.

Brit.

/məˈriːn/, U.S.

/məˈrin/

Forms: Middle English–1500s maryn, Middle English–1500s maryne, 1500s– marine, 1600s marren, 1600s marrine.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French marin, marine.

Etymology: As noun < Anglo-Norman marin, marine seashore, coast, sea, sailor, Old French, Middle French, French marin (masculine) sea (13th cent.), sailor (early 12th cent.), marine (feminine) sea, seashore (c1140; later also navy (1616), seascape (1699), admiralty (1811); as adjective < Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French, French marin (feminine marine) of or belonging to the sea (c1155), coastal (c1170), for use at sea (late 14th cent.; cognate with Portuguese marinho (13th cent.), Spanish marino (1335), Italian marino (early 14th cent.)). The Old French noun and adjective are both < classical Latin marīnus of or belonging to the sea < mare sea (see mare n.⁴) + -īnus -ine suffix¹; compare also post-classical Latin marinus sailor (1311 in a British source), marina coastal region (see marina n.¹).In sense A. 4 probably after French ministre de la marine (1791, but probably earlier: compare quot. 1782 at sense A. 4), ministère de la marine (1811 or earlier). Compare also Italian ministero della marina . With marine law (see sense B. 2a) compare post-classical Latin lex marina (1287, 1383 in British sources). With mercantile marine , merchant marine (see sense A. 3) compare French marine marchande . Stress on the first syllable seems to be indicated by 16th- and 17th-cent. examples such as quot. 1637 at sense B. 1a, but fell on the second syllable by the time of Johnson; the change may have been assisted by the incidence of secondary stress on the second syllable when the word is the second element of a compound such as aquamarine, transmarine, etc. The present pronunciation with /-iːn/ instead of /-aɪn/ is listed by Walker (1791). The French feminine marine presumably influenced the latter change, and possibly the former.

A. n.

†1. A coast or shore, a coastal district; the seafront area of a town, esp. a promenade. Obsolete. marine-set adj. located on the sea-coast.

单词	marine
释义	marinen.adj. Brit. /məˈriːn/, U.S. /məˈrin/ Forms: Middle English–1500s maryn, Middle English–1500s maryne, 1500s– marine, 1600s marren, 1600s marrine. Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French marin, marine. Etymology: As noun < Anglo-Norman marin, marine seashore, coast, sea, sailor, Old French, Middle French, French marin (masculine) sea (13th cent.), sailor (early 12th cent.), marine (feminine) sea, seashore (c1140; later also navy (1616), seascape (1699), admiralty (1811); as adjective < Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French, French marin (feminine marine) of or belonging to the sea (c1155), coastal (c1170), for use at sea (late 14th cent.; cognate with Portuguese marinho (13th cent.), Spanish marino (1335), Italian marino (early 14th cent.)). The Old French noun and adjective are both < classical Latin marīnus of or belonging to the sea < mare sea (see mare n.⁴) + -īnus -ine suffix¹; compare also post-classical Latin marinus sailor (1311 in a British source), marina coastal region (see marina n.¹).In sense A. 4 probably after French ministre de la marine (1791, but probably earlier: compare quot. 1782 at sense A. 4), ministère de la marine (1811 or earlier). Compare also Italian ministero della marina . With marine law (see sense B. 2a) compare post-classical Latin lex marina (1287, 1383 in British sources). With mercantile marine , merchant marine (see sense A. 3) compare French marine marchande . Stress on the first syllable seems to be indicated by 16th- and 17th-cent. examples such as quot. 1637 at sense B. 1a, but fell on the second syllable by the time of Johnson; the change may have been assisted by the incidence of secondary stress on the second syllable when the word is the second element of a compound such as aquamarine, transmarine, etc. The present pronunciation with /-iːn/ instead of /-aɪn/ is listed by Walker (1791). The French feminine marine presumably influenced the latter change, and possibly the former. A. n. †1. A coast or shore, a coastal district; the seafront area of a town, esp. a promenade.
