starredadj.n.

Brit.

/stɑːd/, U.S.

/stɑrd/

Forms: Old English steorred, early Middle English istirred (south-west midlands), early Middle English stirred (south-west midlands), Middle English stared, Middle English sterede, Middle English sterrede, Middle English sterrid, Middle English sterryd, Middle English–1700s sterred, late Middle English serred (transmission error), 1500s stered, 1500s styrrid, 1500s– starred, 1600s stard; also Scottish pre-1700 starrit, pre-1700 sterrit, pre-1700 sturrit.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: star n.¹, -ed suffix²; star v., -ed suffix¹.

Etymology: Partly < star n.¹ + -ed suffix², and partly (in later use) < star v. + -ed suffix¹.Notes on forms. In the early Middle English (south-west midland) forms istirred, stirred apparently the reflex of a Mercian form with stem vowel i , perhaps reflecting a much older formation on the Germanic base with raising of e to i before a following i in the original suffix; compare Old High German gistirnit starry, and gistirni (also gistirri ) constellation, and also (with breaking and subsequent i-mutation) Old English (West Saxon) astierred starry (in an isolated attestation; compare a- prefix¹). The form istirred thus either reflects a prefixed Germanic base (compare y- prefix) or (if a more recent formation) the influence of past participle forms in y- prefix. Notes on specific senses. In quot. OE at sense 1a the Latin lemma frontialis , of uncertain sense and apparently only attested in a small related group of glosses, has been explained as ultimately going back to qui frontem albam (habent) , used of horses with white foreheads, in Isidore Origines 12. 1. 52, the probable source. Compare also discussion at starned adj. In sense 1c ultimately after the corresponding specific use (1332 or earlier in fratres stellati , plural) of post-classical Latin stellatus stellate adj.; compare Middle Low German stērnebrōder , stērnemonnik , German (now hist.) Sternbruder , Sternmönch (both 1526 in Luther, or earlier). With sense 2 compare Old English astierred in the same sense (see above). In sense 5 ultimately after the corresponding specific use of post-classical Latin and scientific Latin stellatus stellate adj.

1. Marked by a star (in various senses).

a. Of a horse or cow: having a spot or patch of white hair on the forehead. Also more fully white-starred. Cf. star n.¹ 8.For the meaning of the lemma in quot. OE see note in etymology.

单词	starred
释义	starredadj.n. Brit. /stɑːd/, U.S. /stɑrd/ Forms: Old English steorred, early Middle English istirred (south-west midlands), early Middle English stirred (south-west midlands), Middle English stared, Middle English sterede, Middle English sterrede, Middle English sterrid, Middle English sterryd, Middle English–1700s sterred, late Middle English serred (transmission error), 1500s stered, 1500s styrrid, 1500s– starred, 1600s stard; also Scottish pre-1700 starrit, pre-1700 sterrit, pre-1700 sturrit. Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: star n.¹, -ed suffix²; star v., -ed suffix¹. Etymology: Partly < star n.¹ + -ed suffix², and partly (in later use) < star v. + -ed suffix¹.Notes on forms. In the early Middle English (south-west midland) forms istirred, stirred apparently the reflex of a Mercian form with stem vowel i , perhaps reflecting a much older formation on the Germanic base with raising of e to i before a following i in the original suffix; compare Old High German gistirnit starry, and gistirni (also gistirri ) constellation, and also (with breaking and subsequent i-mutation) Old English (West Saxon) astierred starry (in an isolated attestation; compare a- prefix¹). The form istirred thus either reflects a prefixed Germanic base (compare y- prefix) or (if a more recent formation) the influence of past participle forms in y- prefix. Notes on specific senses. In quot. OE at sense 1a the Latin lemma frontialis , of uncertain sense and apparently only attested in a small related group of glosses, has been explained as ultimately going back to qui frontem albam (habent) , used of horses with white foreheads, in Isidore Origines 12. 1. 52, the probable source. Compare also discussion at starned adj. In sense 1c ultimately after the corresponding specific use (1332 or earlier in fratres stellati , plural) of post-classical Latin stellatus stellate adj.; compare Middle Low German stērnebrōder , stērnemonnik , German (now hist.) Sternbruder , Sternmönch (both 1526 in Luther, or earlier). With sense 2 compare Old English astierred in the same sense (see above). In sense 5 ultimately after the corresponding specific use of post-classical Latin and scientific Latin stellatus stellate adj. 1. Marked by a star (in various senses). a. Of a horse or cow: having a spot or patch of white hair on the forehead. Also more fully white-starred. Cf. star n.¹ 8.For the meaning of the lemma in quot. OE see note in etymology.
