单词 melanure
释义

melanuren.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin melanurus.
Etymology: < classical Latin melanurus < ancient Greek μελάνουρος < μελανο- melano- comb. form + οὐρά tail (see uro- comb. form2) + -ος, suffix forming masculine nouns. Compare Middle French, French melanure (1551). N.E.D. (1906) gives the pronunciation as (me·lăniūəɹ) /ˈmɛlənjʊə(r)/.
Obsolete. rare. Apparently only attested in dictionaries or glossaries.
The saddled sea bream, Oblada melanura, a small silver Mediterranean fish with a dark band at the base of the tail.The reference to ‘perches’ in quot. 1538 may reflect a confusion between different fishes called ‘ruff’ (see ruffe n.); some confusion must also presumably be responsible for the reference to a fish found in British waters (quot. ?1787).
