释义

Mauritann.adj.

Forms: late Middle English–1600s Mauritane, 1500s Mawritane, 1500s–1600s Mauritan.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Maurētānus.
Etymology: < classical Latin Maurētānus < Maurus Moor n.2 + -ētānus , apparently after western Mediterranean ethnonyms ending in -ētānī ; compare -itan suffix.Mauritane is first attested in Laȝamon's Brut, as a variant of the name of the region Mauretania (compare note s.v. Mauritanian adj.):c1275 (?a1200) Laȝamon Brut (Calig.) (1963) 652 I Mauritane heo comen a lond. The plural forms Maritiny , Mauritymy in quot. c1400 at sense A. are presumably intended to represent the Latin plural form (the form Mauritymy perhaps influenced by classical Latin maritimus maritime adj. and n.).
Obsolete.
A. n.
A native or inhabitant of the ancient region of Mauretania in North Africa; = Mauritanian adj. 1.
