释义

negligéeadj.n.

Brit. /ˈnɛɡlᵻʒeɪ/, U.S. /ˈnɛɡləˌʒeɪ/, /ˌnɛɡləˈʒeɪ/
Forms: 1700s neglejay, 1700s negligèe (irregular), 1700s– negligee, 1700s– negligée, 1800s– negligé, 1800s– négligé, 1900s– négligée.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French négligé.
Etymology: < French négligé, adjective (1640 in sense ‘negligently attired’) and noun (1687 in sense ‘state of being utterly unprepared’, 1729 in en négligé referring to the arrangement of a lady's bonnet (compare sense B. 1), 1789 denoting a simple garment, especially a loose gown worn in private by a woman) < négliger to neglect (c1200 in Old French) < classical Latin negligere (see negligent adj.).Rhyming evidence suggests that in the 18th cent. the final vowel was apparently // (compare quot. 1776 at sense B. 2).
A. adj.
Of a person: †dressed informally (obsolete). Of or in relation to clothing: that is in the style of a negligée; informal; revealing. (In quot. 1889 as postmodifier.) Also figurative.
