单词 pandoura
释义

pandouran.

Brit. /panˈdʊərə/, /panˈdɔːrə/, U.S. /pænˈdɔrə/, /pænˈdʊrə/
Forms: 1700s– pandura, 1800s pandora, 1800s– pandur, 1900s– pandore, 1900s– pandoura.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin pandūra; Greek πανδοῦρα.
Etymology: < classical Latin pandūra three-stringed lute, and its etymon Hellenistic Greek πανδοῦρα, probably by metathesis < Arabic ṭanbūr and its etymon Persian ṭanbūr (see tamboura n.). Compare earlier pandurist n.Compare bandore n.1, bandura n., bandurria n., banjo n., mandola n., mandolin n., mandore n., pandora n.2, tamboura n. This group of words denotes a wide variety of different stringed instruments, and the same word can denote several different instruments: for instance, Italian pandura is glossed by Florio (1598 in Worlde of Wordes) as ‘a musical instrument with three strings, a kit, a croude, a rebecke’, while F. Buonanni (1722 in Gabinetto Armonico) describes this as the Neapolitan name for an eight-stringed instrument like a mandola but much bigger, played with a plectrum. Some of the forms listed here may therefore refer to other instruments. For an isolated borrowing of the Italian word compare:1825 T. D. Fosbroke Encycl. Antiq. II. xiii. 628 The Orpharion was like a guitar, but..was strung with wire... The Bandore, nearly similar, had a straight bridge; the Orpharion slanting. The Pandura was of the lute kind, the Mandura a lesser lute. Compare an earlier example of the Latin word in a Latin–English dictionary:1587 T. Thomas Dict. Latinae et Anglicanae at Pandura A musical instrument hauing but 3. strings, a rebecke, a violen. Armenian p'andir long-necked lute, Ossetian fandir kind of fiddle, Georgian panduri three-stringed lute may be < the Greek word; Ukrainian bandura many-stringed lute-like instrument < Polish bandura , both borrowed < Italian. In quot. 1933 the form pandura is probably dictated by the rhyme.
Music.
A Graeco-Roman stringed instrument of the lute type, having a small body, a long thick neck, and usually three strings, which has survived in various forms in the Balkans, Turkey, Egypt, and parts of western Asia. Cf. rebec n. 1, gimbri n., bandurria n.
