释义

paralian

English

Etymology

Early 18th century adoption into English as a common noun, with its earliest use credited to Philip Wharton, 1st Duke of Wharton.[1].

From the Ancient Greek proper noun Παράλιος (Parálios, Paralian) which is a derivation of the de-capitalised παράλιος (parálios, coastal, maritime).

παράλιος (parálios) is formed by a combination of "παρά-" + "-ἁλ-" + "-ιος

  • παρά- (pará-) which is a prefix derived from the preposition παρά (pará, beside; next to, near, from; against, contrary to); from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *preh₂- (before, in front) which is derived from the older root *per- (before, in front, first).
  • -ἁλ- (-hal-) which is a shortened variant of ἅλς (háls, salt, brine, sea); from the PIE noun *séh₂ls (salt).
  • -ιος (-ios) is a suffix which forms adjectives from nouns with a sense of "belonging, pertaining to, being of something"; from the PIE suffix *-yós which creates adjectives when affixed to nouns or verb stems.
