单词 patina
释义

patinan.

Brit. /ˈpatᵻnə/, U.S. /pəˈtinə/
Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Probably also partly a borrowing from Italian. Etymons: Italian patina; Latin patina.
Etymology: In sense 1 probably < Italian patina sheen acquired by certain works of art with age (1681 as †patena ), greenish film produced on the surface of copper (a1696) < classical Latin patina broad shallow dish or pan, also prepared food contained in such a dish (see paten n.); the sense development in Italian is probably on account of the film that forms in a copper pan after prolonged use. In sense 2 directly < classical Latin patina (see above). With sense 1 compare ( < Italian) German Patina greenish film produced on the surface of copper (1762), French patine greenish film produced on the surface of copper (1765), grime that accumulates on old pictures (1842), sheen acquired by certain works of art with age (1852).
