单词 plainchant
释义

plainchantn.

Brit. /ˈpleɪntʃɑːnt/, /ˈpleɪntʃant/, U.S. /ˈpleɪnˌtʃænt/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; partly modelled on a Latin lexical item, and partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: plain adj.2, chant n.
Etymology: < plain adj.2 + chant n., after post-classical Latin cantus planus (also planus cantus : see below) and French plain chant (1372–74 in Middle French). Compare earlier plainsong n. and Gregorian chant at Gregorian adj. 1.Post-classical Latin cantus planus was first used (from the late 10th cent.) to denote a chant at a lower pitch; from the 13th cent. it was used to denote plainchant as distinct from descant, and then, more significantly, from mensural music (see mensural adj.). Some musical treatises from the 13th cent. onwards illustrate a division of musical theory and practice into cantus planus and cantus mensurabilis , where the terms refer to pitch and rhythm respectively. Compare quot. 1895 at plainsong n. 1.
= plainsong n.
