释义

Marseillesn.

Brit. /mɑːˈseɪ/, U.S. /mɑrˈseɪ/
Forms: 1700s Marsailles, 1700s– Marseilles, 1800s marseilles, 1800s Marcelles (irregular).
Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Marseilles.
Etymology: < Marseilles, the English name of a port (French Marseille ) on the southern coast of France < classical Latin Massilia < ancient Greek Μασσαλία , perhaps of Phoenician origin. Compare marcella n., Marsilian n.1 and adj., Massilian n. and adj., Massaliot n. and adj., and also Messalian n. and adj.With sense 1b compare French marseilloise, marseillaise type of small fig (1812). N.E.D. (1905) gives the pronunciation as (maɹsēi·lz) /mɑːˈseɪlz/. This remained the normal pronunciation until at least the mid 20th cent., from which time the less fully naturalized variant grew in frequency, to become the dominant pronunciation by the year 2000.
