| 释义 | tumbleset音节分段：tumbleset; AHD音标：t?m“b…l-sμt”; 国际音标：6tJmb*l7set; 美国音标：6tJmb*l7sWt; See somersault; 语源：; Blend of tumble; somerset alteration of somersaut variant of somersault; The Lower Southern wordtumbleset for somersault combines tumble with -set, which at first glanceseems not to have any relationship to-sault in somersault. However,-set is an old l -less variant of -sault (from Latin saltus, “a leap”) that has been an alternative pronunciation throughout the word's history;hence, the variantsomerset. Somer- is an alteration of Old French sobre-, from Latin supra, “over.” In the wordtumbleset, as in a folk etymology, somer-, part of a compound word that no longer bears any meaning for the speakers, has been replaced bytumble, a word that makes more sense in the context. |
