释义

muticadj.

Brit. /ˈmjuːtɪk/, U.S. /ˈmjudɪk/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin muticus.
Etymology: < classical Latin muticus awnless (Varro Res Rusticae 1. 48. 3). Compare French mutique lacking spines (1834 or earlier).The Latin word probably originates as a transmission error: Varro likens awnless ears of grains to hornless animals, for which he elsewhere uses the term mutilus maimed, lacking a part, polled, hornless (see mutilate v.).
