单词 remigial
释义

remigialadj.

Brit. /rᵻˈmɪdʒɪəl/, U.S. /rəˈmɪdʒiəl/, /riˈmɪdʒiəl/
Forms: 1500s remigiall, 1800s– remigial.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; partly modelled on an Italian lexical item. Partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin rēmigium , -al suffix1; Latin rēmiges , rēmex , -ial suffix; remigium n., -al suffix1.
Etymology: Originally (in quot. 1592 at sense 1) < classical Latin rēmigium action of rowing ( < rēmigare remigate v. + -ium : see -y suffix4) + -al suffix1, after Italian remigale (1545 in the passage translated in quot. 1592); compare also Italian remigio rhythmic motion of the wings of birds in flight (1598 in Florio). In later use in sense 1 < classical Latin rēmiges, plural of rēmex (see remex n.) + -ial suffix. In sense 2 < remigium n. + -al suffix1.
1. Chiefly Ornithology. Of or relating to structures in a bird's wing (or tail); (in later use) spec. of or relating to the remiges of a bird's wing.
