英语词汇“extant”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

adj

Use the adjective extant to describe old things that are still around, like your extant diary from third grade or the only extant piece of pottery from certain craftspeople who lived hundreds of years ago.

Extant is the opposite of extinct: it refers to things that are here — they haven't disappeared or been destroyed. Use extant to describe things that it may be surprising to learn are still around — you wouldn't say jeans you bought last year are extant, but a pair of jeans worn by Marilyn Monroe back in the 1950s? Definitely extant.

extant / extent

They sounds similar and both have exes, but extant means "still here," and extent refers to "the range of something." People get them mixed up to a certain extent.

Extant is something that's still around — you're surprised it's not extinct. It's more than just existing but also surviving when others have not. Here are some extant examples (yes, they're still here):

The roots, stumps, trunks, and foliage found in bogs are recognized as belonging to still extant species. (George P. Marsh)

He wrote in Latin an incorrect history of England, which is still extant. (Thomas Cantrell Dugdale)

Extent (with an e) means the range of something. Extent can also refer to a degree of something, such as goal achievement. Extent is also the space something covers or takes up. You might see the phrase to a lesser extent (not as much), or greater extent (more). Two is the extent of the examples below:

One's tongue slips in a longer speech to such an extent that the last word of the intended speech is said too soon. (Sigmund Freud)

He says he even sympathizes, at least to some extent, with the Occupy Wall Street protesters. (New York Times)

A helpful hint: something extant is still in existence, but the extent of something is just the range or limit, like the size, or extent, of your tent.
