单词 renitence
释义

renitencen.

Brit. /ˈrɛnᵻtns/, U.S. /ˈrɛnətns/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Probably also partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin renitentia; French rénitence.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin renitentia resistance (4th or 5th cent. in Augustine, from 13th cent. in British sources) < classical Latin renītent , renītēns renitent adj. + -ia -ia suffix1 (compare -ence suffix). In later use probably reinforced by French rénitence resistance, quality of being resistant or recalcitrant (1538 in Middle French as renitence ; sense 2 is apparently not paralleled until later (1765); < renitent renitent adj.: see -ence -ence suffix). Compare Catalan renitència (1437), Spanish renitencia (end of the 15th cent.), Portuguese renitência (1679), Italian renitenza (a1642; a1427 as †renitenzia ). Compare earlier renitency n.
1. Resistance; reluctance or unwillingness to be compelled or persuaded; uncooperativeness. Cf. renitency n. 2. rare.
