remonstratev.

Brit.

/ˈrɛmənstreɪt/, U.S.

/rəˈmɑnˌstreɪt/,

/riˈmɑnˌstreɪt/,

/ˈrɛmənˌstreɪt/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin remonstrat-, remonstrare.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin remonstrat-, past participial stem (see -ate suffix³) of remonstrare to point out, show, argue (in opposition to something) (12th cent. in a British source), to exhibit, expose (1482) < classical Latin re- re- prefix + monstrāre to show (see monstrate v.). Compare French remontrer , †remonstrer (c1175 in Old French in sense ‘to demonstrate, show, reveal’), Italian rimostrare (13th cent. in sense ‘to show again’). Compare slightly earlier remonstrative adj. N.E.D. (1906) gives the pronunciation as (rĭmǫ·nstreⁱt) /rɪˈmɒnstreɪt/, but in O.E.D. (ed. 2, 1989) this is marked as being ‘older’ and a pronunciation with first-syllable stress is given as the dominant one. Editions of D. Jones Eng. Pronouncing Dict. up to and including 1963 record the pronunciation with stress on the second syllable as the dominant one, and this is still indicated as an alternative pronunciation even in British English in subsequent editions.

†a. transitive. To make plain or manifest; to demonstrate, show; to reveal. Also with to. Obsolete.
