单词 pentremite
释义

pentremiten.

Brit. /ˈpɛntrəmʌɪt/, U.S. /ˈpɛntrəˌmaɪt/
Forms: also with capital initial.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Pentremites.
Etymology: < scientific Latin Pentremites, former genus name (T. Say 1820, in Amer. Jrnl. Sci. 2 36; compare Pentremites , the current genus name (G. B. Sowerby 1825, in Zool. Jrnl. 2 318)) < penta- penta- comb. form + ancient Greek τρῆμα hole, aperture (see trematode adj. and n.) + scientific Latin -ites -ite suffix1, with omission of the second syllable, -ta-.The plural form, when printed in italics with a capital initial, could often alternatively be intrepreted as showing the genus name Pentremites. Cent. Dict. records the word as pentatremite, probably after scientific Latin †Pentatremites, an emended form of the genus name (G. Sandburger 1842, in Neues Jahrb. f. Mineral. 396), after Pentatrematites (G. B. Sowerby 1828, in Zool. Jrnl. 4 89).
Palaeontology.
A fossil blastoid echinoderm of the mostly North American genus Pentremites, having five spiracles surrounding the mouth.
