語源

From Ancient Greek ἀήθης (aḗthēs, “unusual”) + γάμος (gámos, “marriage”).

発音

• (Received Pronunciation) enPR: ā.ēʹthĭōgăm, IPA: /eɪˈiːθɪəʊɡæm/,

名詞

aetheogam (plural aetheogams)

1. (botany) A cryptogam; a plant of the obsolete taxonomic class Cryptogamia, having neither stamina nor pistils, and therefore no proper flowers, such as an alga, fern, fungus, lichen or moss.

使用する際の注意点

• Being derived from the two vowels ἀή (aḗ) (alpha-eta: aē), rather than the diphthong αἰ (ai) (alpha-iota: ai), the initial ae- of aetheogam can only properly be written as two separate letters (ae), with a diaeresis atop the e (as aëtheogam) being optional; the spellings *ætheogam and *etheogam are, therefore, erroneous.
