释义

pendulen.

Brit. /pɒ̃ˈdjuːl/, /pɒnˈdjuːl/, U.S. /pɑnˈdul/
Forms: 1500s– pendule, 1600s–1700s pendul.
Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Probably also partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French pendule; Latin pendulum.
Etymology: In sense 1 probably < post-classical Latin pendulum hanging ornament (1300, c1483 in British sources), use as noun of neuter of classical Latin pendulus hanging down (see pendulous adj.); compare French pendille (1611 in Cotgrave). In sense 2 < French pendule (masculine) pendulum (1658), movement in mountaineering (1910); in sense 3 < French pendule (feminine) clock with a pendulum (1557 in Middle French; compare l'horloge de la pendulle (1664)).In later use (in senses 2 and 3) reborrowed < French and not fully naturalized in English. N.E.D. (1904) gives the pronunciation of sense 3 as (pāṅdül) /pɑ̃dyl/.
1. A pendant object or part of something; spec. a hanging ornament. Obsolete.
