单词 primar
释义

primarn.

Brit. /ˈprʌɪmə/, U.S. /ˈpraɪmər/, Scottish English /ˈprʌimər/
Forms: pre-1700 primair, pre-1700 primare, pre-1700 primeir, pre-1700 primir, pre-1700 primowr, pre-1700 1700s– primar, pre-1700 1800s primer, 1700s primor.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin primarius.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin primarius principal of a college or university (a1536 in Erasmus: see also note below), use as noun of classical Latin prīmārius of the first rank, principal (see primary adj.); compare -ar suffix2. With sense 2 compare seconder n., ternar n.In the Scottish colleges, primarius occurs in early Latin documents in the sense ‘principal’. In a document of 7 Feb. 1539, the first head of St Mary's College, St Andrews, is designated by Archbishop Beaton Primarius, but in one three days later is styled Principalis. After the refoundation of the college in 1554, the titles used were Principalis, Praepositus, and Praefectus, especially the last. The Principal of this college was called ‘Primarius Professor of Divinity’ until 1933, when the offices of Principal of St Mary's College and Professor of Divinity were separated. In St Leonard's College, Primarius is frequent in the 17th cent.; and at Edinburgh in the 17th cent. this appears to have been the regular Latin form: see the extracts from the Register of 1664 and later, in Appendix II and III to A. Bower Hist. Univ. Edinb. (1817).
