wiktionary
[[English]]
[Noun]
editwiktionary (plural wiktionaries)
1.Any on-line lexicon resembling Wiktionary.
2.2011, Zygmunt Vetulani, Human Language Technology. Challenges for Computer Science[2]:
However, with the increase in free resources like wiktionaries, or the increase in the number of translated materials available on the Internet
3.2011, Nikolas Coupland, The Handbook of Language and Globalization[3]:
PanLex draws on various lexical resources, including dictionaries, wiktionaries, glossaries, lexicons, word lists, terminologies, thesauri, wordnets, ontologies, vocabulary databases, namedentity resources, and standards
4.2013, Lars Borin, Anju Saxena, Approaches to Measuring Linguistic Differences[4], page 297:
This lower bound is logically determined – a wiktionary with fewer entries could never provide a full IDS list – and not meant to be realistic. We do not know how big a wiktionary has to be in order to provide, say, 75% of an IDS list, but it is likely that several thousands of entries are required for this.
5.Any of the free dictionaries produced by a collaborative project run by the Wikimedia Foundation.
6.2013, Anaïd Donabédian, Victoria Khurshudian, Max Silberztein, Formalising Natural Languages with NooJ[5], page 18:
In fact the English Wiktionary edition contains entries for more than 400 languages, so that out of this source, more language specific wiktionaries could be created than there are actually officially listed.
[Proper noun]
editwiktionary
1.Alternative letter-case form of Wiktionary.
2.2007, Martin Parker, Valerie Fournier, Patrick Reedy, The Dictionary of Alternatives: Utopianism and Organization[1], page 313:
It has also spawned a wiktionary, wikiquotes, wikinews, wikibooks and the wikimedia information commons
3.2015, Werner Krauß, “Heritage and Climate Change: A Fatal Affair”, in David C. Harvey and Jim Perry, editors, The Future of Heritage as Climates Change: Loss, Adaptation and Creativity (Key Issues in Cultural Heritage), Abingdon, Oxon.; New York, N.Y.: Routledge, →ISBN, page 54:
In a letter, Otto Maier called this drawing a "Galimathias"; according to a "wiktionary entry," this is a Greek word that passed from French students to German citizens and signifies something like "nonsense".

editFrom Middle English remembren, from Old French remembrer (“to remember”), from Late Latin rememorari (“to remember again”), from re- + memor (“mindful”), from Proto-Indo-European *mer-, *(s)mer- (“to think about, be mindful, remember”). Cognate with Old English mimorian, mymerian (“to remember, commemorate”), Old English māmorian (“to deliberate, plan out, design”). More at mammer.etymology noteThe success of the Old French word was helped by its proximity in sound and meaning to an existing Germanic word: Old English mimorian, mymerian "to remember, commemorate" from Proto-Germanic *mimrōną, *mīmrōną (“to remember, be mindful”), from the same Proto-Indo-European source, and is akin to Saterland Frisian mīmerje "to ponder, reflect", Middle Low German mīmeren, mīmern "to ponder, meditate", Middle Dutch mīmeren "to reflect, think to oneself" (Dutch mijmeren (“to muse, reflect deeply”)), Old English mimor (“mindful”), Old Norse Mímir, Mim, Norse god of Memory, Old English māmrian "to think out, design". Related to mourn.Displaced native Middle English ȝemuneȝen (“to remember”), from Old English ġemynegian (“to remember, remind”); Middle English minnen (“to remember, have in mind”), from Old Norse minna (“to remind”); Middle English munden, ȝemunden (“to bear in mind, remember”), from Old English ġemynd (“memory, remembrance”); Middle English ithenchen, ȝethenchen (“to think on, remember”), from Old English ġeþencan; Middle English manien (“to remind, mention, remember”), from Old English manian (“to admonish, remind, mention”).

edit/kutu/ → /kut͡su/From Old Japanese, ultimately from Proto-Japonic *kutuy. Appears in compound terms listed in the Wamyō Ruijushō of 938 CE.The ancient combining form of modern reading kuchi.[1] Likely the original form.No longer productive in modern Japanese. Only found in older compounds.There are interesting potential phonetic and semantic overlaps with Middle Chinese 窟 (MC kʰuət̚, “hole; cave”), 口 (MC kʰəuX, “mouth; opening; hole”); Korean 굳 (gut), 굿 (gut, “hole; hollow; cavity”); possibly even Ainu クㇳ (kut), クッチ (kutchi, “throat”). One possibility is that these represent prehistoric nativized borrowings from Chinese. However, there is yet no clear evidence of relatedness.
[Etymology 2]
edit*/kutu i/ → /kuti/ → /kut͡ɕi/From Old Japanese, ultimately from Proto-Japonic *kutuy. Appears in the Man'yōshū, completed some time after 759 CE.[2]Shift from kutu above, probably by fusion with ancient nominal particle い (i). Compare the phonetic development of 神 (kami, “spirit, god”) from kamu + i, 木 (ki, “tree”) from ko + i, 目 (me, “eye”) from ma + i.
[Etymology 3]
editFrom Middle Chinese 口 (MC kʰəuX). The goon, so likely the initial borrowing.
[Etymology 4]
editFrom Middle Chinese 口 (MC kʰəuX). The kan'on, so likely a later borrowing.

pap
[[English]]
ipa :/pæp/[Anagrams]
edit
- APP, App, PPA, app, app.
[Etymology 1]
editOrigins unclear. Related to Middle Low German pappe, Dutch pap, Old French papa/pape, Latin pappa, Bulgarian папам (papam, “to eat”) and Serbo-Croatian папати/papati (“to eat”), among others. The relationships between these words are difficult to reconstruct. An (independent?) origin in imitative baby-talk, leading to constant reformation and renewal, is the best explanation in view of German Pappe (“pap, mush, porridge for children; sticky, mushy substance, paste, glue”), which fails to show the effects of the High German sound shift (no shifted form appears to be attested, making borrowing from Low German an unsatisfying explanation).
[Etymology 2]
editFrom Middle English pappe, of uncertain origin. Perhaps form Latin papilla; or perhaps compare Old Swedish papp (“breast, nipple”), from Proto-Germanic *pap- (“nipple”), of imitative origin, or from Proto-Indo-European *pap- (“pock mark, nipple”); Swedish dialectal papp, pappe, Swedish patt, Danish patte, North Frisian pap, pape, papke (“breast, pap”).

dude
[[English]]
ipa :/d(j)uːd/[Etymology]
editOrigin uncertain, though likely derived from doodle (“fool, simpleton, mindless person”), perhaps with reference to the fashionable “Yankee Doodle dandy” in the 18th-century lyrics of the song “Yankee Doodle”;[1] the word is first attested in 1883[2][3] as a New York City slang term of contempt for a “fastidious man, fop”.[4]It has also been suggested that the word is derived from dudes (“old rags”; compare duds) and dudesman (“scarecrow”),[5] or possibly related to dawdle; to German Low German Dudeldop, Dudendop (“fool, dunce”), from Middle Low German dudendop (“cuckold; simpleton”); or to Saterland Frisian Duddigegen (“idiot”).The common claim that the term derives from (or is) a word for a camel's foreskin (or some other vulgar thing, like a hair on a cow, horse, donkey, or elephant's bottom) is false.

[Noun]
editdude (plural dudes)
1.(chiefly US, colloquial) A man, generally a younger man.
So we were at the mall and these two dudes just walk up to us and say "hi".
2.1883 March 7, “Animal Intelligence: Facts Tending to Throw Light on the Question: ‘Do Dudes Reason?’”, in Puck, volume XIII, number 313, New York, N.Y.: Keppler & Schwarzmann, OCLC 15863678, page 299:
A very pretty little dudine of Fifth Avenue is much admired by the dudes in her neighborhood, and it has been observed on several occasions that she appeared to be able to discriminate between them, and not only shows a preference for one dude over another; but is able to recognize the dudes she likes after an interval of separation. It is said, also, that in accepting the attentions of her dude wooers, she shows a peculiar mimicry of the coquettish manners of human girls.
3.1896, J. Harington Keene, “Directions for Reading Character from Handwriting”, in The Mystery of Handwriting: A Handbook of Graphology, Boston, Mass.: Lee and Shepard Publishers, 10 Milk Street, OCLC 457834067, page 19:
At first sight it may seem odd that the character-reader should in any case declare himself incapable of distinguishing sex in writing. […] The most prevalent reason for this probably lies in the so-called "emancipation of women," who, on aping the masculine pursuits and propensities, really acquire the virile tone of character. In a similar way the "dude" of the day becomes androgynous; and the result in one case is a masculine soul in a woman's shape, and in the other a feminine soul in the degraded form of the so-called "dude".
4.2014, Tim J. Myers, “Choc Rocks”, in Rude Dude's Book of Food: Stories behind Some of the Crazy-Cool Stuff We Eat, [Sanger, Calif.]: Familius, →ISBN:
At first Europeans didn't realize what chocolate could be—poor guys! [Christopher] Columbus saw cacao beans in 1503, but he didn't have a clue. (No surprise—dude thought he was in India!)
5.2016, Oliver Benjamin, “Additional Notes from the Author”, in The Dude De Ching, new annotated edition, [s.l.]: Abide University Press; Dudeism, LLC:
Though the term "dude" originated as a term to describe a certain type of male, and then later to refer to men in general, today it is often used to refer to both genders, at least in certain parts of the United States. Dudeism doesn't recognize "dude" as a gender-specific word. We consider both women and men who exhibit dude-like qualities to be "dudes," and assert that the word "dude" can mean many different things depending on the context.
6.(colloquial, used in the vocative) A term of address for someone, typically a man, particularly when cautioning him or offering him advice.
Dude, I'd be careful around the principal; he's having a bad day.
Watch it, dude; you almost knocked me over.

The session concluded as Josh, disgusted and surprised, yelled, "Dude, you hit like a girl!" The boys in auto shop drew on images of both femininity—"you hit like a girl"—and bisexuality—"I'll show you a switch hitter." (A bisexual man was often referred to as a "switch hitter" or as someone who "played for both teams.")

Dudes are at least as entertaining as cows, even when they don't mean to be. A cow can’t voice that honestly curious question that turns a poor cowboy into a laughing fool the way a dude can. Probably nothing in the world can move a cowboy more than a newborn calf's clean, good looks and actions, unless it’s the look of awe on a little dude’s face the first time it sees a cowboy on a horse.
12.2011, Richard W. Bevis, “Mi Tsi A-da-zi”, in Dudes and Savages: The Resonance of Yellowstone, [Bloomington, Ind.]: Trafford Publishing, →ISBN, page 32:
The "dudes" are the automobile and bus tourists, mere passers-through: thousands a summer day, millions a season. […] "Dude" expresses perfectly the image that seasonals from the stagecoach driver to the gas-pump jockey have had of tourists: soft, wealthy, uninitiated, ignorant, lowland and (preferably) eastern. […] For the average dude – if such a construct may be admitted – the park is an unusual commodity, financed by his taxes, from which he is therefore entitled to extract as much use and pleasure as he can from the rangers and seasonals who stand in his way.
13.2014, Jeremy Agnew, “The Image Persists”, in The Creation of the Cowboy Hero: Fiction, Film and Fact, Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland & Company, →ISBN, page 212:
"Dude" was originally a name for ranch vacationers with no disrespect attached, but it later became derisively associated with clueless easterners who knew nothing of Western ways, as portrayed by Bob Hope in Son of Paleface (1952). Junior's fiancé[sic, meaning fiancée] (Jane Russell) tells him to "go out West." When Junior (Bob Hope) wants to show that he has become a Westerner, he wears a tall outsized white hat like Tom Mix and white wooly chaps, the traditional movie outfit representing an eastern dude. A female dude was known as a "dudess" or "dudine."
14.(archaic) A man who is very concerned about his dress and appearance; a dandy, a fop.
15.1883 March 7, “Signs of Spring”, in Puck, volume XIII, number 313, New York, N.Y.: Keppler & Schwarzmann, OCLC 15863678, page 21:

2.(chemistry, of a gas) Thinness; the property of having low density
3.1927, H. P. Lovecraft, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath:

4.
5.A rare object.
6.2013 May-June, David Van Tassel, Lee DeHaan, “Wild Plants to the Rescue”, in American Scientist, volume 101, number 3:
Plant breeding is always a numbers game. […] In addition, we are looking for rare alleles, so the more plants we try, the better. These rarities may be new mutations, or they can be existing ones that are neutral—or are even selected against—in a wild population. A good example is mutations that disrupt seed dispersal, leaving the seeds on the heads long after they are ripe.
