单词 noctambulo
释义

noctambulon.

Brit. /nɒkˈtambjᵿləʊ/, U.S. /nɑkˈtæmbjəˌloʊ/
Inflections: Plural noctambulos, noctambuloes, noctambulones.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin noctambulon-, noctambulo.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin noctambulon-, noctambulo sleepwalker (1595 as plural noctambulones in a work title) < classical Latin noct- (see nocti- comb. form) + ambulāre ambulate v. + (see -oon suffix); compare ambulones n. Compare Italian nottambulo (1685), Spanish noctámbulo (c1900), although these may rather represent borrowings of post-classical Latin noctambulus (see noctambulous adj.).The plural form noctambulones is after the post-classical Latin plural form.
Now archaic.
