prataladj.

Brit.

/ˈpreɪtl/, U.S.

/ˈpreɪdl/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin prātum , -al suffix¹.

Etymology: < classical Latin prātum a meadow, of uncertain origin + -al suffix¹. Compare classical Latin prātālis used as pasture (in an inscription). Compare pascual adj.A tentative etymology connects the Latin word with Gaulish rate , ratis fort, Early Irish ráith , ráth earthwork, rampart, fort (see rath n.¹), but since there are problems with both form and sense, this is not generally accepted.

Botany. Now rare.

In H. C. Watson's terminology: of or relating to a plant that grows in meadows or lush grassland.

1863 J. G. Baker N. Yorks. Stud. 183 To designate the different kinds of locality we may employ a series of adjectives such as sylvestral, pratal, pascual, ericetal.

1883 A. Fryer in Jrnl. Bot., Brit. & Foreign 375 No hard and fast line can be drawn between Pascual and Pratal plants.

1932 G. C. Druce Comital Flora Brit. Isles 69 Meadow Crane's-bill. Pratal. British. Meadows, grassy road-borders.

1953 Jrnl. Ecol. 41 282 The greater abundance of F[estuca] rubra is perhaps accounted for by its pratal preference.
