单词 éclat
释义

éclatn.

/ɛkla/
Etymology: < French éclat, Old French esclat, related to éclater, Old French esclater to burst, burst out. The senses occurring in English use are taken (with more or less accuracy) directly < French. In 18th cent. and first half of the 19th cent. the word was in much more frequent use than it has been subsequently. (Sometimes ignorantly written éclât.) The Old French esclater = Provençal esclatar , Catalan esclatar is usually believed to be < West Germanic *slait-an , causative of *slîtan ; see slit n. The Germanic sl- became in Romanic scl- , to which the usual euphonic e- before initial s + consonant was afterwards prefixed. The French noun has also the sense of ‘splinter’, and its early form, or a synonymous feminine (e)sclate , is the source of English slate n.1
1. Brilliancy, radiance, dazzling effect (in lit. sense or with conscious metaphor). Obsolete.
