单词 tendon
释义

tendonn.

Brit. /ˈtɛndən/, U.S. /ˈtɛndən/
Forms: Also β. 1500s tenaunt, tennon, 1600s tenon, tendant, 1700s tendent. plural 1500s–1600s (perhaps Lat.) tendones.
Etymology: < medieval Latin tendo, tendōn-em and tendin-em, apparently < Greek τένων, τενοντ- sinew, tendon, influenced by Latin tendĕre to stretch; so French tendon (16th cent.), also Italian tendone, tendine, Spanish tendon. To Celsus, a.d. 50, τένων was still a Greek word. In Cælius Aurelianus, c400–420, it retains Greek inflections, e.g. accusative plural tenontas; but in Theod. Priscianus has Latin ablative plural tenontibus. In medieval Latin it became tendon or tendo: the latter in Theod. Gaza, tr. Aristotle's Hist. Anim., 1476. The plural occurs as tendones in the translation of Galen by Nicolaus Calaber of Reggio a1350, and there is later evidence that the o was long, tendōnes. Another plural tendines (after ordines, etc.) was used in 16th cent. and later. (I. Bywater.) The β-forms tenon, tenaunt perhaps preserve traces of the Greek forms, confused with other words.
a. A band or cord of dense fibrous tissue forming the termination of a muscle, by which it is attached to a bone or other part; a sinew: usually applied to such when rounded or cord-like, broad flat tendons being called fasciæ and aponeuroses.tendon of Achilles: see Achilles tendon n. at Achilles n. 1.
