ZIZANIAとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Borrowed from Latin zizania (“cockle, tares”).

発音

• IPA: /zɪˈzeɪniə/
• 韻: -eɪniə

名詞

zizania (plural zizanias)

1. Any of several aquatic North American grasses, of the genus Zizania, grown for their edible grain; wild rice.

語源

Originally a neuter plural form (see zizā̆nium), which could be subject to a highly productive process of reinterpretation as collective feminine singular.

発音

• (Classical Latin) IPA: [zɪzˈzaː.ni.a], [zɪzˈza.ni.a]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: [d͡zidˈd͡zaː.ni.a]
• Note: the /a/ is apparently long in Sumerian, unattested in Greek, scanned variously in Latin. The length of the /i/ before the underlyingly-geminate /z/ is unknown.

1. nominative/accusative/vocative plural of zizā̆nium

名詞

zizā̆nia f (genitive zizā̆niae); first declension

   • 1267, anonymous author, Scribere proposui:

     Scribere proposui de contemptu mundano
     iam est hora surgere de sonpno mortis uano ·
     zizaniam spernere sumpto ui[r]tutum grano ·
     Surge surge uigila semper esto paratus ·

     I have set forth to write of contempt of the world.
     Now is the hour to arise from the vain sleep of death,
     to scorn the tares, choosing the grain of virtue:
     Arise, arise, be vigilant, always be prepared.
