/ˌʃiːnə ˈfɒdə/, U.S.

/ˌʃinə ˈfɑdə/, Irish English

/ˌʃiːnə ˈfɑðə/

Forms: 1700s– sine fada, 1800s– sineadh fada, 1900s– síne fada, 1900s– síneadh fada.

Origin: A borrowing from Irish. Etymon: Irish síneadh fada.

Etymology: < Irish síneadh fada, síne fada diacritic denoting vowel length (17th cent., not used by traditional grammarians), specific use of síneadh fada (in traditional Irish grammar) long vowel, literally ‘long vowel length’ (17th cent.: see note) < síneadh action of stretching, extension, vowel length (Early Irish síned , verbal noun of sínid stretches, extends, probably < the same Celtic base as (with different suffix) Early Irish sír long: see hiraeth n.) + fada long (Early Irish fota , fata , probably < the same Indo-European base as classical Latin vastus vast adj. and adv.).Traditional Irish grammar distinguished between síneadh gearr short vowel, síneadh meadhonach, literally ‘medium vowel’ (denoting a historically short vowel that has undergone secondary, contextual, lengthening), and síneadh fada long vowel, but these expressions are no longer in general use in these senses.

An Irish diacritic mark having the form of an acute accent, which is placed over a vowel to indicate that the letter should be pronounced with a long sound (as É in Éireann, í in síneadh, etc.). Cf. fada n.
