Forms: 1600s mensurall, 1600s 1800s– mensural.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mēnsūrālis.

Etymology: < classical Latin mēnsūrālis obtained by measurement, in post-classical Latin also in spec. musical sense (1533 in the passage translated in quot. 1609 at sense 1) < mēnsūra measure n. + -ālis -al suffix¹.The post-classical Latin terms cantus mensurabilis and musica mensurabilis were first used in the 13th century, in opposition to cantus planus and musica plana , to denote the kind of polyphonic music then current, in which fixed durations were organized in a fashion analogous to the modern bar or measure; in some subsequent medieval writers the use of the words mensurabilis and mensura is not restricted to polyphony but also extends to plainsong. The application of the English term mensural to transcriptions or performances of monophonic music (as in quot. 1986 at sense 1) is recent.

1. Music. Having fixed rhythm with notes and rests indicating a definite duration; spec. designating or relating to music in a definite metre (cantus mensurabilis or musica mensurabilis), as opposed to plainsong.Cf. measured adj. 3c, measurable adj. 5b, mensurable adj. 3.
