单词	minaret
释义	minaretmin‧a‧ret /ˌmɪnəˈret, ˈmɪnəret/ noun [countable] Word Origin WORD ORIGINminaret Origin: 1600-1700 French, Turkish minare, from Arabic manarah ‘lighthouse’ Examples EXAMPLES FROM THE CORPUS Around the door was a wooden cut-out shaped like a minaret. But the shimmering white minaret, and the impressive dome, designed to shelter 3,500 worshippers, are deceptive. From the minaret, the muezzin's call to prayer mingled with the gentle serenade of mariachis. Overhead, flights of pigeons wheeled through the minarets, cutting over the heads of the congregation towards the Red Fort. Poplar leaves have an elegant outline resembling that of an arab minaret. The fourteenth-century Blue Mosque now has cracks in the walls and a dangerously leaning minaret. They left alone the old town with its souks, square, palaces and its impressive Koutoubia minaret. To Western eyes, the house looks like the Taj Mahal, its minarets jutting above a domed roof. word sets WORD SETS► Building aisle, nounbelfry, nounbiomass, nounbooth, nounbreakwater, nounbridge, nounbridge, verbclapboard, nouncondemn, verbcondo, nounconstructor, nouncourtyard, nouncubicle, nouncupola, noundais, nounderrick, noundes res, noundeveloper, noundevelopment, noundome, noundomed, adjectivedry rot, nounDumpster, noundump truck, nounduplex, nounDutch barn, noundwelling, noundyke, nouneaves, nounelevator, nounescalator, nounestate, nounexit, nounfarmstead, nounfence, nounfirebrick, nounflagged, adjectiveflagstone, nounfortify, verbfoundation stone, nounfountain, nounfreehold, nounglazier, nounglazing, noungrating, noungroin, noungroyne, nounhandrail, nounhousing estate, nounhut, nouninsulation, nounironwork, nounlandscape architect, nounlandscape gardening, nounlevee, nounlisted, adjectivelow-rise, adjectivelychgate, nounmanor, nounmansion, nounmarble, nounmason, nounmasonry, nounminaret, nounmulti-storey, adjectivemulti-storey, nounopen-plan, adjectivepanel, nounpanelled, adjectivepantile, nounpillar, nounplatform, nounportal, nounportcullis, nounprecast, adjectiveprefab, nounprefabricated, adjectivepre-stressed, adjectivepublic works, nounQuonset hut, nounrailing, nounredecorate, verbredevelop, verbrevolving door, nounriser, nounrising damp, nounrivet, nounrood screen, nounroof, nounroom, nounroughcast, nounrow house, nounsalon, nounsash window, nounseawall, nounshelter, nounstanchion, nounstorey, nounstrut, nounsubside, verbsubsidence, nounsubstructure, nounsuperstructure, nounsurvey, nounsurvey, verbsurveyor, nounswing bridge, nountar, nountar, verbtower, nountriplex, nounurban renewal, nounwatercourse, nounwicket gate, nounwindbreak, nounwindmill, nounyard, noun a tall thin tower on a mosque, from which Muslims are called to prayer
